Air-Dale Fishing and Hunting

This is a review of the Medhurst lake cabin. It is not a comment on any of the other cabins or main lodge run by this family. We flew our Cessna 185 floatplane into Medhurst Lake for a stay while transiting Canada from east to west. After paying our money and before arriving at the cabin we were texted and told that the dock was in disrepair and the water system was in operative. It turns out that the dock was nonexistent and the bay is so shallow that the plane could not be brought to the shore. This required tying the plane offshore and hauling gear to the beach. The water situation was not critical since we were used to filtering water from lakes before drinking anyway. Upon arrival at the cabin we found numerous other problems that shouldn’t be part of an expensive cabin rental: 1. Refrigerator was inoperative. (Yes, I know how to light it and operate it!) The failed refrigerator was a special problem since we assumed it would be working and we failed to bring enough ice to sustain us for four days. 2. The outboard motor on the boat next to the cabin was frozen. The pull cord for the starter would not turn over the engine, in neutral, in forward, or in reverse. As a result, we were forced to swap boats with another that was down the beach. 3. Windows were all stuck on the porch but a little WD-40 has got them all working just fine. 4. There was no lime or other chemicals for the outhouse. 5. The front deck side access step was broken and presented a danger. The cabin was far more primitive than how it was presented when we paid our money. Our request for a partial refund was rejected which prompts this negative review. This would be a one star review that has been elevated to two stars only because Jenn was so personal and friendly on the phone. As a side-note, the fishing during our stay was poor. This review does not take that into account since it could be the result of the fisherman or the fish!

I have never experienced a fly in fishing trip before. Jen and all the staff are very helpful and amazing service. My husband and I really enjoyed our selves. The cabin at Amiganging was beautiful, clean and well maintained. If you are looking for a great trip with friends or family. This trip would be for you. The fishing and sandy beaches are just amazing. Walleye and pike are the best. There is an abundant of fish. This was the best trip ever, and I love a nice sunny day on white sandy beaches. This trip has everything for every member of the family. A great trip to unwind and leave all your worries behind. For a remote place to fish. You have all the comforts of home. From a very clean shower with hot water, cabin sleep 8 and electricity with solar and generator. There is also wi-fi. With all of this set on a lake to yourself. Life feels so good. Thank you again Jen and staff. My husband and I will be doing this again
