This was our second stay at Jim's lodge, and it definitely won't be our last—we're already planning our trip back next year!The lodge has so much personality and character. Everywhere you look there's something interesting, and it's clear that Jim has put a tremendous amount of care into creating a place that's both unique and welcoming. It feels comfortable, inviting, and unlike anywhere else we've stayed.Jim is an incredibly kind and thoughtful host. He genuinely cares about his guests and goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a great experience.There's also no shortage of things to do. We loved swimming in the pond, checking out the collection of classic cars, spending time in the game room, watching movies, and simply relaxing around the property. It's the kind of place where you can stay busy all weekend or just unwind and enjoy the atmosphere.We can't recommend this place highly enough. If you're looking for a memorable getaway with a one-of-a-kind atmosphere and an outstanding host, this is it. We can't wait to come back next year!

We want to heal the whole person and provide self worth and ways to financially support them selves and creqte stability and hope.

Why they chose this property

Another interesting fact about ther Lodge is was rented for the second Borat Moviie. Because of Covid the Hoolywood Producer was looking for a large secluded Propery that they could film part of the Movie at the Lodge. If you watch the Movie (which has something in it to offend every one) you will watch Borat in the Living Room Seating area and also walking down the hallway to kill the virus (he refers to it as the Verus) . When the Movie was filmed we were not allowed on the Property as it was a secret what they were doing. We found out that Borat had been there after the movie came out.

What makes this property unique

The property is totally private and has a 4 block long driveway into the property and a wonderful small lake with fresh water that is great for wildlife and swimming. The estate has a 1/2 basketball court inside, outdoor hot tub, game room with foosball, pool table, table tennis, dance floor with disco ball and a full wet bar. Inside I also have my collection of 13 classic cars with couches, bistro tables and memorabilia. There is a full gourmet kitchen for cooking and entertaining off the large living and dining room.
