Welcome

Porch, fire pit, lake

The Iron Ore is a charcoal-sided house with a white porch and an upper balcony, remodelled inside with white walls, warm wood and rust-orange chairs. It sleeps eight across three bedrooms and a queen sofa bed, a few blocks from Lac La Belle and minutes from the area's wedding venues. When the day is done, the firewood is stacked by the fire pit and, spring to fall, a s'mores kit is waiting.
