We stayed in Troll Cottage, which was a pleasant surprise and perfect for our little family. It was cozy and clean and had everything we needed. The staff was helpful and friendly. We loved being away from the busier spots like Sister Bay or Ephraim. Beautiful views! Would definitely stay there again!

I had a very peaceful stay and found the room cozy. All the other guests were extremely quiet and barely noticed that anyone else was staying there. The area is beautiful and would consider staying here again.
