This is just a gorgeous home in a beautiful setting. It is hard to put into words how spectacular our stay at Sam Ridge "cottage" was. This cottage is truly a castle! And our lovely host, Karen, made us feel like royalty. What a beautiful part of the world to escape to. We were able to see moose, loons, turkeys, turtles, toads, and the Aurora Borealis! If you are looking for the perfect lake getaway then look no further. Sam Ridge is the right place. ”
