Had fun

We enjoyed our stay. Because we are all older adults, we wished there was a bathroom downstairs. Also, a handrail going up both sets of stairs. Otherwise, we had a nice time and had plenty of room to socialize and play games. Thanks for the nice stay.

Lovers of all things Spooner, the Gimpels bought the Wooden Spoon Lodge as their family home up North. Wendy is a real estate agent in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, so if you have any questions about buying and selling up North, feel free to reach out. Rick loves to fish and has caught and loves the opportunities of Lake McKenzie!
