I hope it's not too messy to make Sat's haul north a mess. The weather readers are almost disappointed when their forecasts of warm weather go away. Post a report on the Caswell as I've heard good things & bad things about the place over the years. Last year I was talking to a friend who isn't a sledder about it. He's been there in the summer w/ his family & said it was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 We weren't too impressed with the Caswell earlier this year. The restaurant food was just so-so and the room was small and expensive ($139). Hope you have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarisracing1 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 imo,they were good-to great....majority of trails are great,there were a few sections such as parallel trails to hwy 11,that took alot of bright spring sun,and was starting to show signs of brown,and occasional rocks.....but compared to what weve had locally...epic trails,im sure you will be fine as long as it stays cold...and last i checked snow was on its way for this week there...but that could change like my wifes moods!!!!

lastzrt Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 We stayed at Caswell's Friday to Monday. Our two adjoining "cottage" rooms on the lake front were clean, warm and comfortable for three adults and two children. Parking was right at the front of our doors but we were there early on Friday. Rooms were $145.00 with free anything off the menu breakfasts that they gave to all five of us. The food was not 5 star, but the service was great. The pool and hot tub/sauna were fine for the kids. We checked out the ice caves Saturday am and had a hot dog roast there with the kids. They had a blast. By Monday the trails were beat from the high traffic so we went ice fishing on the lake and my son caught a 4lb white fish his first time ice fishing! We would go back with kids on a regular winter year with more normal traffic volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
