What a gorgeous sunset view! The staff was very welcoming. We ate Shrimp Alfredo and a Philly Cheesesteak and the food was excellent. My husband loved their old fashioned as well. Definitely WORTH THE DRIVE!
Had the best time during our stay for Tomahawk Fall Ride. The cabins are so cute, and really comfortable. The bar staff and food was top notch. Owners were very accommodating to our large group. Can't say enough good things.
Food was phenomenal! Owners were wonderful. If we make our way up here again, we’ll definitely be back!
We didn't stay there, but had lunch yesterday for 3. The bar & deck were full. Two of us had a burger and fries, the third had a half order of nachos, and we shared an appetizer. It was delicious. The quantity was crazy. We took enough home for all of us to have 2 more meals. The food came quickly despite how busy they were and the service was outstanding. Definitely will be back. The view of the water was beautiful. Thank you!
Stopped in for a quick bite to eat with the UTVs. Good service and nice view.
The food was excellent! The area is beautiful! And they were busy, so it was a little slow for service. Loved it
A great atmosphere! As out of state snowmobilers, we made so many friends the short time we were there. Everyone treats you like family. The service was great, cheeseburgers were delicious, and the folks were as nice as they could be. No doubt, the most fun place we stopped.
The new owners are doing an exceptional job! We cannot wait to visit again. The food was very very well prepared and tasted wonderful. I saw somebody having there nachos and I cannot wait to try their nachos they look absolutely fabulous.
