We loved the space that this cabin provided for 3 families and 14 people. The location and views were very nice and we enjoyed how much place there was for the kids to be able to play both inside and outside. The beds were all comfortable and the rooms had plenty of space for all three rooms to hold a pack and play for you kids. Just a note for future patrons the kids bunk room has a door that exits to the side yard, but we blocked it and made sure it staid locked. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the stay.I understand this is nature and spiders and their webs are a natural thing, but to walk outside and run into so many webs around the deck and outside the doors wasn't something we enjoyed upon arrival. Also the amount of spiderwebs inside seemed like an easy thing for the cleaners to knock down prior to our arrival as well. We did have to wash most towels since they had a strange smell and didn't appear very clean prior to first use. We notified the host that our party had 14 people and there weren't enough towels and wash clothes for the party. We were able to wash them daily thanks to the washer pods that were made available to keep us going, but having enough on hand at arrival would have been great.

We loved every minute of our stay in Swimming Bear Lodge and would love to do it again. The house is larger than we thought and there was plenty of room for everyone to do their own thing. It was by far the most well-equipped home that I've ever rented. We fed 14 people very night with no problem. Just a beautiful place and I can't sing its praises enough! We hated to leave this lakefront paradise!
