It was perfect. It had everything we needed. The kids loved the loft. Ginger was great, we accidentally locked ourselves out and she was quick to respond. It was very quiet and comfortable.

First time staying in a renovated church. We enjoyed fishing in the Namagagon River, also a first. Location was great for making day trips to the surrounding areas. The Sawmill restaurant is in walking distance and we had great service and food too. Jack’s canoe/kayaking rental was a blast as this was another first for us😊The Evolve rep. we were in contact with was friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend staying here.
