We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge. Beds were very comfortable and all of the amenities made the trip a lot of fun. Great spot for families to gather.
Our family - 3 generations - has been coming here almost every year since 2010. Our grandkids have grown up with the annual trip to the cabin, and we all eagerly look forward to it.
We had a family gathering at the lodge, it was the perfect location and a great space for our family. There are so many things to do for everyone and lots of privacy and relaxation. We would love to come back for another stay with out family.
excellent stay. the lodge is exactly as advertised. everything was in working order, the kitchen is well equipped. the owner responded to a minor need with an exceptional response time. close to the Adirondacks and the St.Lawewnce Seaway. Would stay again...
We had a great time at the house. There were lots of family activities to pass the time and we also enjoyed floating in the river and taking the boat out to fish. The kitchen was well-stocked and the house had a lot of character. Beware of the deer flies and mosquitoes.
The drive into the cabin was beautiful, and it’s exactly as it’s described on the listing. Ample space for guests (we had a large party), and it’s location on the water make our stay absolutely wonderful. Clean, quick response to the one question I had, and a friendly welcome made our stay memorable.
The group had a fantastic time. The host's scavenger hunts were fun and a unique part of the trip. The water was beautiful, and we truly enjoyed the quiet of the camp. Great place!
We absolutely LOVED The Lodge. 5 Stars all around. We went for my brother's bachelor party, and a great time was had by all. The property and location is truly gorgeous, a real piece of paradise.
Wonderful! We took advantage of everything this property had to offer and enjoyed every minute. We lounged around the fire pit, went boating, paddle boarding, and played games. There were some beautiful hiking trails nearby, apple picking, My mother turned 80 this week and she really enjoyed winning the contest and 2 bonus prizes. She wants me to thank John and Donna for their hospitality. Thank you for lending us your home and making our stay special.
Beautiful property, tons of things to do at the house (game room, pontoon boat, hot tub, volley ball etc…). Plus it is the perfect place to have a large family dinner. Huge dining room table with room for 10 people, all the plates, bowls, glasses , silverware you need and pots and pans for cooking. There is also a dw for easy clean up. The beds are comfortable (remember to bring your own sheets and towels) and the showers are hot and very nice. Overall one of my favorite places to stay.
This property is exceptional! We have stayed here for work events several times and have been extremely pleased with each experience. This trip, the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed peak fall colors. We prepared lunch and transported it to our St. Lawrence team during trainings we provide as well as hosted a dinner for the leadership team. As a foodie, I can attest to a well appointed kitchen with everything one would need to create wonderful meals. John and Donna are great hosts. Thank you for sharing the Lodge with us.
We first stayed here 14 years ago, we missed a few years since due to deployments. We have always enjoyed our weekends here with family.
John & Donna the owners are great folks & very accommodating.
Me and some friends went away for the weekend and the hosts were awesome!! They even set up a scavenger hunt at the property and it was so fun and great for bonding. 10/10
