As you can imagine, the fishing doesn’t get much better than this for Lake Trout, Arctic Grayling, Northern Pike and more. Bookings for this season are stronger than ever; along with new clientele coming in, many guests come back year after year.
This unique location situated between two lakes lends itself to unforgettable views, as well as increased privacy for guests. The outdoor improvements are extensive providing ample opportunities for guests to be immersed in nature; from sitting on one of the many decks enjoying food and drink to sitting in the hot tub gazing at the aurora to lounging in the heated gazebo on the water’s edge to telling stories and roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, as you can imagine, the memories made won’t soon be forgotten.
This property has solid infrastructure to accommodate just the perfect amount of guests. It provides a profitable business without sacrificing the wilderness, peace and quiet and still affording guests breathing room.
