Where to start...? There are so many things about how they conduct business here that's just so user friendly. Three of us opted for a three day Timbersled package on Jan 17 thru 19 of 2017. The staff is very courteous and helpful, always interested in how you're doing along the way. The gear they issue is top-notch, and even in the bitter cold, I was never affected once by the weather. The machines are all in top shape, and are brought to the front of the lodge for you to just hop on and go. They give you as much (or as little) assistance as you need, depending on your comfort level and abilities.
Food was prepared in the morning and evening for a sit-down meal, and they pack a basic lunch for you to take while you're out adventuring around the mountains. Several cultured trails to follow, and then so many open fields you can play around in, just for fun. They offer beacons and maps to make sure you can be found, or find your own way around, and there was never a question about what to do in the event of an emergency.
A special "Thank you" to Vivian and Gerald. They were always pleasant and wanted to talk about anything that happened during the day. Very lovely people with the right mind-set to make the trip that much more enjoyable.
Brian (the Owner) came out and personally rode with us on our last day there, and while I didn't go on that particular trip, my buddy did, and said it was everything he thought it was going to be. They explored some new areas on the timbersleds and had an awesome time. Even Brian came back from the excursion saying he'd not been in those places in the winter yet.
A word to the 'connected' folks though...don't go here expecting to be able to reach out whenever you want back to do work or other things on the web. The whole idea of this place is to be disconnected for a few minutes and enjoy a slower pace. Mornings start at 0700 with breakfast, and by 0900 you can ride. The day ends at 1700 with returning the machines, and dinner is served at 1830. The rooms are equipped with as much as you need, but don't have a tremendous amount of luxury as it's not necessary. If you come here thinking it's going to be the best of the best of the newest style, think again. This is truly a place to come and relax. If that's what you're looking to do while riding some snowmobiles or timbersleds, then this is the place for you. If you want to cruise the web and do work, or update your social network status, then choose some place in town. This is truly a 'getaway' from the normal day-to-day hustle you've come to despise...
Having said that, I'm TOTALLY looking forward to coming back again next year...
