REMODELING:

Bigger Rooms & New Showers

In studying our reservation lists, we have found that party sizes are increasing; we are seeing many more 6’s and 8’s than just a few years back. Another shift is towards more couples and “all-girl” trips. Roughly 96% of our customers spend the night with us prior to starting their trips. On the back end, 3 parties in 4 relax at the base after an unhurried afternoon return on their last day on the water. That adds up to a couple of thousand folks sleeping here on the northeast shore White Iron Lake.

As our business grew, we were regularly maxing-out our capacities. Several years ago we built the large men’s showerhouse and dedicated the four separate shower/restrooms to our female guests. In our continuing effort to make your overall canoe trip experience as pleasant as possible, we took another step in enhancing our base facilities. We remodeled the Back Bunkhouse from four smaller rooms into three, each for nine people. This allows for better party integrity (most bigger groups spent their leisure and pre-trip packing time together, anyway). Their individual outside exits all open on to a common deck/walkway.

For the gals, we replaced each of the older shower stalls with new, fiberglass, one piece modular units. Single faucet control units eliminate any chance of an unexpected blast of hot or cold water. And new water heaters increase the time we can run “continuous” showers.

It all comes down to the fact that when we say "Have a good night", we really mean it!
