Season of 2008

Thank you all for visiting our Inn. We've really enjoyed all our new friends we've made this season, and as fall is right out our door, the colars are starting to change. If you haven't already heard, we've changed our website to inform you that we are a Silent Sport resort. We care deeply about what's happening to our enviroment and want to do our best to make sure that our future generations can enjoy our wild Upper Michigan as we do every day! So if you like to walk get out and enjoy our beautiful fall colars with a walk in the woods, and cherish all we have in our country. Were looking forward to a good cross-country ski season.

Spring / Summer of 2008

Our Spring was a long awaiting, axcious for our Star to have her calf. As June finally came and almost went , she gave us a Beautiful black angus calf a girl, we named her silvia. All is well and growing like a weed. Also returning are our Black Bears ,it's a treat to watch them a night, many new quest really like viewing them. In July our Facility we will be inspected to be a Green Facility, we try to use all natural products for cleaning and recycle as much as we can. We also use recycled paper for our office practices, and try to use a reuseable towel program. We also try to use local organic or our own produce for the inn's quests. As well as we grow our own Beef products. We hope everyone has a safe and healthy summer season!
