Wilderness Presidential Resort
Overall good experience. Comfortable cabin. Not all activities were available due to weather. Lake level was low in the lake closest to our cabin.

Wilderness Presidential By Tripforth
The cabin was clean with no bugs in sight until our last night. The outdoor pool was closed and I hope it stays closed due to the amount of geese and poop that occupied it. The indoor pool was mediocre and could use a cleaning. Overall, it wasn't too bad.
