This was a great location for our family reunion. It was nice to have various cabins for each family. The host was very communicative and helpful. The lake was perfect to play in and there was alot of yard space for games and for the kids to run around with. Overall it was a great stay

Great place

This was a great place to enjoy with family and friends for the weekend. It was a nice getaway and easy access to the rake for fishing or canoeing. The owner/staff of the property were very easy going and we had great communication with them throughout the stay. Highly recommend this 5 cabin property for a nice weekend getaway.

Family get together

The Ponderosa was a great place for our family to come together The beach area was nice. The water was shallow and did not drop off suddenly. Our small grandchildren loved it. They even fished from the dock and were excited when they caught fish. We rented a pontoon for a couple of days and the older boys went fishing and caught quite a few fish! Making s’mores at night around the HUGE fire pit was great. Had lots of chairs around it. We enjoyed the big outside area where the kids could run and play and where we played several yard games. Over all it is a great place for large families. We all enjoyed it alot

We had a family vacation with 17 and 3 dogs. Very pet friendly! The kids had a blast jumping from the dock, visiting each other in their cabins. We all had our own space to go. The main cabin was wide open for all to join on the rainy days with many activities to do provided by the Resort. We brought our own boat and used the public access and docked the boat. The fishing was amazing! From crappies, sunnies, northern, huge Bass, and managed to catch walleye! Many laughs and memories were created this weekend!

Great place to stay!One suggestion would be better garbage facilities 25 people produce a lot of trash! Maybe a bigger dumpster would be nice!
