A great place with great hosts food and drinks and live music. Cute rustic Cabo was perfect for us!
We visited Boulder Lodge on Ghost Lake to view the dazzling auroras (5-10-24). The owner waited for us to arrive and gave me a tour of property and suggested the best place to view the Northern Lights at 11pm. Very dark and great place to view the night sky. I plan to visit Bolder Lodge again.
Michelle, Terry, Kelsey, and Jason are fantastic hosts, I look forward to getting back to Boulder Lodge! Great burgers plus live music in the lodge, clean comfortable cabins, and Ghost Lake is a beautiful body of water.
Boulder lodge is great. Friendly hosts and good food. Can't say anything about lodging as we lice close and don't stay there. Just eat.
Charming, comfortable cabins nestled into to forest along side ghost lake. The lodge is thoughtfully crafted with rustic furniture and decor to bring out the true nature of the North woods feel. The owners, Michelle and Terry, are professional and passionate about providing a memorable experience for their guests. You can’t go wrong here! Immaculate accommodations for short term and long term guests and a 12 space RV area, some with full hook ups. Reasonable rates for the area. Love it
What an amazing place! Wow. I’m bike touring the North Lakes route and stayed in the hiker/biker cabin on the lake. Kelsey was an incredibly accommodating host and after a long day of riding, made me feel right at home. The cabin was cozy, bathrooms were super clean and though the lodge wasn’t open for dinner, I grabbed a few beers there and was able to use the wifi in porch area. Highly recommend this place especially for bicycle tourists passing though.
We could not have been happier with our stay at Boulder Lodge!!! We were on a family camping trip, and the resort was the perfect place for it! The staff is wonderful! The facilities are clean, and very "north woods". Enjoyed the pontoon rental. Will definitely be back... hopefully bringing bigger groups next time!
We choice this as our Anniversary vacation, it was NOT disappointing. The hospitality from Kelsey & Jason was grant. We are already planning another stay in Aug. It's the best get away vacation you could have. It's just you & nature; you go there to enjoy this time w/out the distraction of all the "electronic devices".
