Wonderful Stay in Dwight
Dan was a great host and made us feel welcome immediately. He even took the time to send an email about places to stop and eat.
The rooms were clean and well appointed. The grounds were also very nice with BBQs, picnic tables and lots of spaces to meet others staying at the motel. I would come back in a heart beat.
Also located very close to great hiking including Limberlost, Arrowhead and Algonquin.

A quite peacful stay in the woods
The experience was very good. Stayed in their luxury tent. It was raining through the night but the tents are built to last.
The property is clean, well maintained. The staff is very coordial and helful. Close to Algonquin west gate, a 15k drive and you're there.

Special accommodation
Very special and nice accommodation on the hill of forest. Comfortable bed and good bedding
However, we should have not arrived at night.
Tent is on the hill of the forest and very dark to go there., and it was hard to carry the heavy suitcase accenting to the hill and stairs.
We had to bring mosquito protection stuff.
We forgot to ask for wifi password, thus did phone call to ask it, but the reception was closed at 10pm and no answer.
The tent was located near the street thus there was constant noise of vehicle passing during the night.

Second time staying and it was even better than the first. The host had so many amazing recommendations that never failed. Amazing grounds, friendly environment, short drive to Algonquin and Huntsville.
Thanks Dan! We will be back!
