What people are saying…
Fun and welcoming
A really great spot, the hosts were so kind and they’ve put so much work into making the place fun and welcoming. Wish I had stayed longer and would definitely come back!
Magically beautiful
What a magically, beautiful location! Herman Lake looked and felt like a nature preserve, housing an abundant and healthy ecosystem. This land is home to moose, owls, beavers, loons, turtles, frogs and even fireflies!
The sites are situated among the trees, offering privacy and shade. They have large sites for groups, individual sites for trailers/tents, glamping tents by the water, a sauna and water activities available for rent (canoe, paddle board and paddle boat).
Caitlin was lovely and very accommodating for our last minute trip. We will definitely be back!
Accommodating hosts
