Situated on a quaint, quiet, motorboat free lake, the Norsemen is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway. The restaurant is great, with signature local ingredients prepared and presented with panache.

Walker Lake Resort is a very beautiful place to stay. Cabins are so close to the water. The lake has a decent trout and bass fishing. Limberlost walking trails are just minutes away! Very friendly staff and cozy environment. Highly recommended
