Our stay at Bruce was amazing. Our hosts Were amazing and quickly getting back to all of our questions and super helpful. The place was just as it was presented the wraparound porch that was screened in was perfect when the day was rainy as you still felt, you were in the Northwoods and outside.

We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the serenity, tranquility, and privacy with the beautiful setting and all the amenities. Thanks.

We had a lovely time with family! Beautiful location. The lake was smaller than expected and lacked any wildlife, like ducks, loons, turtles etc, which seemed odd but we had a lovely time canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding!! The floating dock was a great place to sit and swim from. We didn’t do much trail hiking because the mosquitoes and flies were just too much for us. Just a very bad year and can’t be helped. At the cabin they were fine but the screen porch and lake is where we spent most of our time! The cabin itself is very nice but could use a deep clean. The screen porch furniture cushions are very stained but comfortable. The outdoor lounge chairs are either broken, twisted and unusable or close to it. There is everything you need to cook with spices, oil and such leftover from previous guests. Everything though could use a going through and reorganization. The oven and stove top pilot lights kept going out and we needed to go purchase matches for it and to start the grill. There is a place designated for lighters but none were there. Yes, the upstairs bed is on the floor, no bed frame which seems odd and would seem more upscale with one, but it didn’t bother us. The beds and sheets were clean and comfortable. Again we had a lovely time! The place is nice but with the things I mentioned addressed it could be fantastic and more on par with the price we paid.

It was everything we wanted. Best kitchen ever and we are caterers! Wrap around, screened in porch was a game changer with all the mosquitos. Swimming dock with canoes and kayaks to shuttle everyone back and forth was too much fun. Four families occupied the space and there was plenty of room to be together and out of each other's way.

The building and the property was beautiful Loved all the trails throughout. Very unique log cabin and the porch was very spacious.

We had a wonderful time! Really enjoyed the hiking trails and the golf cart rental was something we used a lot. The bunk house was really nice to have for the kids. The house is a beautiful, log home, it is so private and very relaxing. Perfect to spend time with family. The downside was the mattresses, the master bedroom’s was old and super soft, bedding seemed old, there was no bed frame just box spring & mattress on the floor. The main floor bedroom also had a super soft uncomfortable mattress. Best bed was in the basement bedroom. Because of this we left 1 night early since we weren’t getting good sleep. The house was clean but the 3 season porch very dusty and spiderwebs. I would go back again, if only they got new mattresses.

This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. We love having room for the whole family and really enjoy how secluded and private it is. There is so much to do and space for everyone. The screened-in porch is really the highlight of the house and we all spent so much time there. Can't wait to come back!

Our stay was fabulous! We basically LIVED in the screened-in wrap around porch the whole weekend snuggled up to the fire, enjoyed a day on the pontoon and anchored to the floating raft on the lake, relaxed in the hot tub, cooked amazing meals, and really made the most out of everything the retreat property had to offer. Thanks for being so accommodating and we’d love to return!
