    Hans & Dorris Georgi owned and ran this place. My grandparents spent their summers there and I would spend a couple of weeks there every summer. Dorris baked all of the bread products in her huge wood stove which was fed from a large barn of split birch, just for her stove. The ice house was filled with blocks of ice cut from the lake e dry winter and supplied all of the ice for drinks and such for the guests all summer long. When I was 15 Hans let me drive his 4WD International pickup. He would leave big cans of used cooking fat out in the back by the dump which the bears would eat. He also gave them candy bars. Fond recollections.
