About Us
More than anything, relaxation is what a vacation to Nor'Wester Lodge is all about it. Define it any way you like: Sleeping in. Sitting on your deck with a cool drink. Watching a beaver tug a log across the water to its ever-growing home. Watching your child catch that first fish. Paddling a canoe. Roasting marshmallows and hot dogs over an open fire. Seeing more stars than you ever thought the sky could hold. Watching the sunset or a wild display of northern lights. If you've been here before, you know all about it. If you're new, prepare to be amazed, delighted, rewarded, and relaxed. Real relaxed.
