Orr accommodation from NZ$222

We stayed two nights in a clean and comfortable room on the first floor with a second door that opened towards the parking lot that made loading and unloading suitcases easy. The place was quiet and not fully booked in August. The staff was polite and helpful in suggesting dinner options. We liked The Dam Restaurant up the street. The continental breakfast was OK, with cereal, milk, coffee, toast, and some other items. The only thing I didn’t like was the bed. The mattress and box springs were rather old and creaky and the bedding could use some updating, but it was fine for the two nights. The hot water in the shower was lukewarm the first day and hotter the second day. It could be because more surrounding guests in other rooms were taking showers at the same time the first day, I don’t know. All in all it’s a decent place to stay to visit Voyageurs National Park and Crane Lake. Bug spray on exposed legs and arms is a must! Long hiking pants and a thick shirt is needed for trail walking, or else spray your shoulders, too. We walked the gorge trail on Crane Lake and I was stung by mosquitoes multiple times all over both shoulders through my tee shirt. Mosquitoes were everywhere. I wore a hat or my scalp would probably have been stung, too.

John and Carol were great hosts and have a lovely location!

The Island is in a beautiful quiet location. Once you get all your stuff to the island its all relaxation. Fishing off the dock was good for the kids and provided good excitement. There are several places to eat and gas up on the big part of the lake. You can even access Fortune Bay via boat with a 30-40 minute boat ride. Golf at the Wilderness is top notch. The cabin is small, but enough room for 3 adults and 2 kids. Black bay is a small bay which provides nice protection when the weather gets bad. Dock has ample space for two larger boats. Saw lots of loons and eagles from our dock. Overall a great experience and highly recommend.
