This place is relaxation and rest. It is absolutely beautiful and the screened in porch really seals the deal—you get all the views and none of the bugs. You can see mountains and islands. The beds are comfortable and clean. Jay is friendly and inviting. *notes for travelers only—bathrooms can be sparse if coming from Portland. *we took a moose tour. It was cool but long. I recommend taking the cheaper tour instead of a private tour.

Wonderful stay in the boathouse. The peace and quiet was unbeatable. The views from the bedroom, the deck and the dock were incredible. Having use of the kayaks to go explore the lake was a huge bonus. We were looking for a peaceful, chilled few days to really unwind which is exactly what we found.
