Family Fall Retreat

What a lovely, well equipped home. So quiet and restful with a short walk to the beach. We made great use of the pool and ping pong tables with a friendly competition complete with nick names. Losers bracket competed in giant Jinga. Evenings featured boards games from the large sectional on the lower level as kids slept above. Such a quiet home.

Great neighborhood

6 bedrooms and plenty of couches to relax or sleep on. Living room has great views of wildlife. We saw many turkeys and deer each day and evening. Also great place to view the stars at night.

Love staying at the Lodge

Our family of 11 adults enjoy staying at the Lodge. Plenty of room and beds for all. The parking is a plus for us. Three classic cars for the Cruise around the Lake, plus a truck with a boat and several cars for everyone to come. We really enjoy the space and watching the deer and turkeys is fun. Its very clean with everything you made need. This was our second stay there and coming back next year. Judy R.

Beautiful

Beautiful house and property! Very clean and lots of room for us all! We all enjoyed seeing the deer and wild turkeys and walking the trails in the woods. We also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table and played a family softball game in the backyard! Grilled and cooked meals and it is very well stocked. We will come back! We all had a great time from age 7-68 years old!
