Cabins
Twenty-seven cabins
are nestled along
the wooded shores
of Geier and Boot
Lakes. Many of the
cabins are close to
the lodge. For guests
who might prefer a
bit of seclusion,
other cabins are well
separated around one
kilometer of the lake
shores.
All cabins have a
living room with a
fireplace, two to
five bedrooms and
a bathroom with tub
or shower, or both.
Relax on your porch
or enjoy the view
from your lakeside
dock, where you can
tie up your canoe.
Each cabin has its own distinctive name and character. Some were built in the 1920s or thirties by the owner Del Thomas, for use by his family plus the ever increasing summer visitors. Others were built by long-term "summer residents," guests who stayed for two to three months with their families and friends. All of these cabins have a fascinating history, some of which is highlighted in the cabin binders and at the main lodge.
All cabins have a living room with a fireplace, a refrigerator, kettle, plus a bathroom with either a tub or shower. Some have both. Choose from two to five bedrooms. Relax on your porch or enjoy the view from your lakeside dock, where you can tie up your canoe.
Each
cabin is unique with
its own distinctive
character and history.
Many of the cabins
were originally built
in the 1920's or 1930's
but updated while
maintaining their
original charm and
character. Pine cones,
dip nets, rustic stools
or birch twig coat
hooks — treasures
collected or made
on summer holidays,
have been kept as
momentos of guests
from days gone by.
Shelves contain the
typical summer cabin
collection of books,
a deck of cards and
a few board games
or puzzles.
After a fun day swimming, canoeing or hiking return to your cabin for a relaxing evening on your porch, or a crackling fire and perhaps conversation with new friends.
