“Great Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011

My parents come up every year, and this was the first time that we joined them. We rented 2 cabins for the 6 of us, so my parents could be in a different cabin than the toddler. The cabins were small and cozy - very rustic but comfortable. They had everything that you needed.

Darv and Marjean are great owners! Anything you asked, they helped with. The daily activities entertained my toddler - he really liked the horse wagon ride and crafts. Darv ran the dock, helping us in and out of the boats, giving fishing tips, and providing bait. It was great vacation - we would definitely go back.

Stayed July 2011, travelled with family

“could be better”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2009

The units were crammed together pretty close. It was easy to over hear conversations of others while they were in their cabins or duxplex side. We were frequently awaken at night by loud guests. We thought it a little pricey. We would have appreciated a bit more privacy

“Awesome....very inviting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2008

Bowstring Resort is one of the best resorts my family has ever been to. The lodge staff is very welcoming and pleasurable to talk to. The crafts/activities for our children was awesome, my children loved them, the fishing is great, facilty is awesome.
I recommend this resort for anyone looking for a place to vacation with the family or even fish with the guys.
