Idyllic lakeside stay

A secluded property with a lodge with many games and activities. We were greeting warmly by Elise who offered to carry our bags upstairs. Bob was similarly helpful - asking If he could pick up something in town for us, and carrying dinner and plates downstairs when we chose to eat lakeside. I would definitely stay here again and hope to do so. Bears Den was quiet and well equipped with good cross ventilation.
