From the 1880s through the early part of the 1900s it drew tourists and sportsmen who came in spring for the abundant trout fishing through till the late fall for moose hunting. The business was operated by the Thomas family until 1969, when it was acquired by a group of guests who formed a company dedicated to continuing the operation of Milford House in the same simple and natural manner and to preserving the property unspoiled for those who love the woods, lakes and streams. We have twenty-seven comfortable cottages situated well apart along the wooded shores of Geier and Boot Lakes, all within walking distance of the main lodge. All cottages have daily maid service. Firewood and kindling are provided at each cottage.
Canoes are available for daily or weekly rent.
The main lodge contains our office and reception area, comfortable living rooms and a library from which you may borrow books during your stay, a games-room for the children, and the spacious dining room. Milford House is renowned for its wholesome food. Picnic lunches are available upon request. In many places you will find a picnic table for your lunch-break. Swimming is excellent in the soft lake water.
