Clean lots of room for large group, large common area in another building with kitchen great for group meals. Friendly neighbour sells fire wood and gives great directions.
I had a group of 13 friends come up to Nick's Retreat. Everything was great, the property is really cool with a bunch of well done taxidermy.
Plenty of space to run around and dog friendly too
Nick was very attentive to my messages, I want to come up again with the family next time!
Everything was clean, fantastic space for a good size group, separate cabins were very comfortable.

Amazing Property!
We had an incredible time at Nick's Retreat! The 17 of us were able to fit comfortably and the entire property is very well kept. The lake down just down the road was super clean and was a great place to spend the day. Jim the neighbor was incredibly kind and helpful, and Nick is awesome and very easy to deal with in getting everything set up! Would recommend the place to anyone!
