We stayed here on a trip to the North Shore. After a day of hiking and exploring, it was great to come back and relax or head down to the pool. We also enjoyed the Moguls restaurant right there on the property and enjoyed an evening around the fire pit with the delicious s'mores kit provided. We have older teenagers and all enjoyed this stay.

This was our second time staying at Caribou Highlands Lodge, and it was just as good as the first. We were in 122A this time, and it was the perfect size for our family of 5. We enjoyed both pools and the hot tub. The best part is the location is pretty central to all the stops and towns we like to frequent. We can't recommend this place enough!
