Great resort location but ok cabin

There are some pros and cons to this place and a few things to know in advance. Overall it was a good stay and the resort itself is beautiful, but there are a few things that I wish I had known beforehand: *The resort does not provide towels. It’s not an issue if you know in advance but we had no idea, so we had to drive about 30 mins to Zup’s to buy some. *the place is very remote and so plan on bringing everything you need or to spend at least an hour total driving. Also, the kitchen is pretty bare so I recommend bringing your own cookware *the grill is charcoal operated so bring your own charcoal with *you have to drive through several miles of dirt road to get to the resort. The last stretch was especially bad. *the boat rental fee on their website does not include gas so you have to purchase that in your own afterwards. Not an issue but just don’t be surprised about it and plan accordingly. We rented the pontoon which was very spacious and fun to use but also cost an extra $150 in gas for a whole day worth of driving (note we covered quite a bit of distance so if you just want to go out a bit into the lake you’ll probably pay a lot less) *the cabin is really small, so if you are planning on spending a lot of time in the cabin then this may not be the property for you. However the resort has lots of beautiful spaces to use so plan on using those to really make your stay enjoyable *there were not any nearby major hiking trails that we could find. The closest ones were about a 30 min drive away from the resort Overall the resort was nice and the staff was really courteous, prompt, and helpful. It’s a good place if you know what to expect and don’t plan on spending a lot of time in the cabin but rather want to relax outdoors in the surrounding area and enjoy the scenic views of lake vermilion

Deposit?

Honestly, we had a great time while there even though it turned out to cost my family a lot more than we planned. We spent a week in the Larch and rented the boat. But, I paid a hefty deposit which about broke the bank. I thought no big deal, we will get it back in the end, right? Which the property manager said as long as the place is clean, we should. I waited and waited and never received my deposit for a month after our stay. After contacting the property manager, she said that they didn’t have my address and had someone new doing their books. She said she would get the check out right away. The check did come, but was only for 1/3 of the deposit. We spent the final day of our stay cleaning the house and boat, so I’m not sure why I only received 1/3 of it back. I was planning on going back and making it a yearly trip, but not after this. If you stay here, don’t expect your full deposit back. What a scam! I have three children I’m trying to raise and she pulls this.
