Natural Features The cabins sit amidst a forest of old-growth trees consisting mostly of Hemlock and Maple within walking distance of Lost Lake. The 92-acre lake gets its name from the lack of apparent inflow or outlet of water. The lake is actually fed by springs and the lake is a "No-Motor Lake". Tall white pines, hemlocks and other evergreens border the lake, Loons can be heard singing across the lake. A watchful eye can catch the resident eagle or osprey as they search the waters for their next meal.

The facilities are in great condition, the shower and restroom areas are spotless. The cabins are clean and quiet. Hosts are kind and very helpful, do not hesitate to ask for help if you need it. I had enough cell coverage (Verizon) to send and receive text messages but no social media or photos. I was also able to sustain a few calls, you have to find a "spot". If you need wifi or cell, this is not the place for you. Men's and Women's shower facilities are on separate sides of the campground. Paths are well cared for and traversing the camp during the day or at night should be no issue. Paths are wide enough, flat and firm enough to be handicap friendly. Not all cabins are handicapped accessible so make sure to validate prior to your stay. All the public building facilities are wheelchair friendly/accessible. Stayed for 5 nights. Google Maps had the entrance to the camp driveway located where there are high power lines and NOT the actual address. The end of the blacktopped road (coming South from hwy 70) is 4450 Chipmunk Rapids Road, turn in to the driveway there for Lost Lake Cabins.
Had a great weekend trip with friends. The hosts are incredibly nice, and the cabins are wonderful! Cell phone coverage was spotty, which is a definite plus for families, IMO! We will be back!
Absolutely loved it here! Cabins are cozy and spacious. The trails are beautiful and the lake was gorgeous. Can't wait to go back!
Pet friendly cabins next to a gorgeous, well stocked lake. Reasonably priced firewood and boat rentals. Well kept grounds and interiors. Communal areas chock full of games and comfortable furniture. Overall wonderful experience but be prepared to walk in your stuff as there's no parking next to cabins. Not by any means a negative, just a heads up. We could all use the exercise...
Such a beautiful location! It’s remote and cell service is spotty. So it’s quite relaxing. Both camp site and cabins are superb.
