We stayed here August 9 to the 13th. We brought are own boat To do three days of fishing. Only two complaints. The smell of septic was pretty bad and their rooms did not have AC. It was extremely on In there. But other than that, the resort is awesome. The food was great. The staff were awesome. The fishing was even better. We’ll definitely be back.
Stopped by for some drinks and a bite—great decision! The location is really nice, and the staff were cool and friendly. We went with the waiter’s food recommendation, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Everything was delicious!
Absolute blast! The staff are so friendly and kind, they also provide great fishing tips and are happy to help with anything at all times! Front desk has been very accommodating! Fishing was 10/10! Great boat/marina space! Playground for kids and zip line! Food was also top notch! We have been twice and will now make it a yearly trip! I cannot wait to be back and spend our anniversary there again!
What a fantastic hidden gem for camping! Our fully serviced spot overlooked the marina and was beautiful. The bathrooms (with showers!) were close by and clean. Jess and Erin (and the other resort staff we ran into) made us feel very welcome. This was a great place to spend our May long weekend.
Highly recommend. Staff went above and beyond. Very friendly. Very knowledgeable and kind fishing Guide. Full service Marina with boat rentals. Small to Big boat rentals available. With or without guide. Fishing processing shop is a bonus. Added cost. You can fish as cheap as you want or high end boat with a guide.
Awesome experience overall. The chalet was a little tight for 6 and needs more drying hooks and close hangers to hang your wet gear. Besides that, our guide was great, super knowledgeable, and found us fish in the early part of the season. Infact, all staff at the resort were happy, knowledgeable and helpful. Beautiful location, great atmosphere. I highly recommend checking it out, lots of variety from tent camping to staying at the lodge or renting a private place on the water.
Stayed there mid-August. The facilities are amazing, the services are wonderful, and the location is stunning. We were spoiled with the fishing success of our guided fishing tour alongside the company our guide, ‘Red-Beard’. The staff were incredibly helpful and made our stay one to remember. We are already planning our next stay at this family resort. Thank you!
Did a fishing charter with some friends and stayed in the new luxury yurtes! It was incredible! The views the staff amazing! We did two day fishing charter and did 10 hr days both days! We caught halibut, lingcod and oh so much salmon! 10/10 recommend this was an amazing experience!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
