Our stay at North Paw was absolutely wonderful. The property is shaped like a palm hand, surrounded by beautiful, clear water that felt calm and refreshing every day. The cottage itself was clean, cozy, and made us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed our evenings by the campfire—it became a special part of our trip. The natural setting was alive with blue jays and other birds, which made the mornings and afternoons so peaceful and enjoyable. Overall, it was the perfect place for relaxation, fun, and creating memories. We truly appreciate the care the owners have put into making this such a welcoming and beautiful spot. We can’t wait to return!”

Lovely place. The hosts were excellent. Accommodations one of the best we have ever had. Kayaking was a main goal and with four to pick from… kayaking heaven. Nice small downtown with restaurant choices plus a grocery store not too far away PLUS a garden to pick tomatoes from!! We had a true vacation.
