The lodge was great! It could fit a lot more than advertised. I was worried about the pool being warm enough because it isn’t heated, but it was wasted worry, the pool was perfect and the kids played in it the entire time! The location was great for going to lake Hamilton, running to the store, hunting crystals, etc. The house was great for having multiple areas for puzzles, games, movies and hanging out to all occur without interfering with each other. We even had a storm one night where we turned off all the lights and just watched/listened from the wrap around porch…super cool. We did have to run to the store the first night and grab a few essentials for the kitchen…like trash bags, ziploc containers, detergent and wash cloths/sponges, kitchen towels, etc…but those items are always an unknown until you get there. But, overall the house was perfect for what we needed and was larger and more accommodating than we expected.
