Beautifully appointed - great Northwoods feel with modern conveniences!

A very nicely decorated, up to date ‘lodge’ in the woods with some quiet lake frontage. You won’t miss anything here - tons of supplies, from kitchenware to towels and more. Beds were comfortable and kitchen has great high end appliances. Good water pressure in well supplied bathrooms. Could definitely use a humidifier in the basement bedroom/ bathroom space.

Camp Makwa truly exceeded our expectations! The cabin is beautifully decorated and equipped with every comfort we could ask for. My husband and I loved watching the stunning sunsets, and our dogs had a fantastic time being with us. My husband particularly enjoyed taking one of the kayaks out to explore the lake. We also appreciated the well-appointed kitchen and the grill on the porch, which made cooking and dining a delight.We were sad to leave this beautiful property and hope to come back someday. I highly recommend camp Makwa!
Our pups were thrilled to be with us for an extended weekend!
Stunning sunsets from the deck off the kitchen
Beautiful lake views!
Very comfortable porch with grill steps from the kitchen - lake & woodland views are stunning!
