5. The Fern Lodge

While Fern Lodge was built in the early 2000s, it evokes the era of the Great Camps.

With only five rooms, seasoned innkeepers Greg and Sharon Taylor aim to personally pamper each visitor. With so few guests, they are able to customize the experience.

Built by Greg Taylor in the early 2000s, it is decorated in a blend of rustic and mission styles. Rooms are enhanced with custom-made beds so big several were assembled in-room. Fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs for two add to the romantic ambiance.

With no public access, Friends Lake is particularly serene. Kayak, canoe or hike in summer and cross-country ski lakeside in winter. An outdoor hot tub and sauna are soothing extras.

A multicourse gourmet breakfast is served each morning. In the evening, the hotel treats guests to a boat tour around the lake with a glass of wine and hors d'oeuvres.
