Ryan and Jenn value simplicity and being outdoors, fishing, snowboarding, and kayaking. The Hemingway lodge reflects this mentality and is the perfect place to get outside and enjoy nature. The decor transports you back to easy livin' with a boho, rustic, and effortlessly classic esthetic.

Large sleepy lake. No motors allowed. Enjoy the escape to the outdoors here. Beautiful lakeview with lake access, wonderful wildlife and nature viewing all from the porch or beach. Rental includes access to kayaks and a paddle boat to dive right in!
