If you're looking to immerse yourself in nature, Sunset Bay's lodge, guest house, 5 acre woods and 300 feet of lakefront will fulfill that desire. "Sunset Bay Lodge" lives up to its name. The sunsets were magnificent, especially the view from the dock each evening. The lodge and guest house were beautiful, clean and comfortable. Morning walks were delightful; wildflowers everywhere, a black bear sighting one time, deer a number of times, and daily sightings of bald eagles.
Our family of 12 really enjoyed the spaciousness of the lodge! We appreciated the large kitchen and dining area, the living room with seating for us all, the sauna, the whirlpool tub, the watercrafts (paddle boards, kayaks), the bikes, the grill, the deck, the games and books.
No situation is ever perfect -
1. We would have appreciated the use of a washer and dryer; at least a dryer for all the beach towels and linens the twelve of us generated from swimming and showering. You will want to pack a clothesline.
2. The lights in the kitchen and dining area were unreliable, some of the lights refusing to stay on, making the lodge feel dark in the evenings.
3. It's important to note that WiFi and cell service were spotty, if that's important to you.
We had one unexpected situation arise when the water pump gave out and had to be replaced. Our host was quick to respond and worked late into the night to rectify the problem. Thanks Tim.
Our entire family gave our experience on the Island a thumbs up!
