My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at rustic retreat. Steve took great care of us and the property is beautiful. Highly recommend if your vacationing in the up.
Our stay was great and relaxing. Steve was a great host and is very friendly. Our cabin was clean and inviting. His two dogs, Yuper and Jasmine great guests as we they come and go. Steve is gracious allowing other pets as guests and has impressive dog handling experience. If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet place to stay to get away I would highly recommend this resort!
Communication with host was excellent. Lovely quiet peaceful setting closer to crisp point where we spent most of our time. My husband did not follow the host rule to the letter and was chastised for it. Although he did stay on the back porch with all windows open.
I cleaned small spider webs In corners and wiped down lamp shades but other than that the facility was clean, warm, and well appointed with any necessities.
We appreciated the peace for our very short break from caring for an aggressive Alzheimer’s patient.
If you can brave the 10 miles down a dirt road to get here it's a wonderful getaway. The cabin was much nicer than we expected and my kids loved playing down by the lake and roasting marshmallows over the fire. Overall it was a great vacation at Culhane Lake
My father and I had a wonderful stay for 5 nights in Septwmber of 21. The cabin and amenities were exactly as described. We wanted an upgrade from tent camping and this property fit the bill. It had just the right amount of convenience while still feeling like you got away from it all. We enjoyed not having wifi or a cell phone signal(4G is available a quick 10 minute drive south of the property.) Beds were comfortable, shower was warm, stove and microwave in good working order.
We enjoyed fishing from the dock and a nice campfire by the lake. The property was very dog friendly if you're looking to bring your dog.
This is an excellent place to stay, host was fantastic and very helpful, and informative. The lake was beautiful and the fishing was great. Perfect jumping off point for many attractions.
