About this property

Lakefront Lodge w/Dock, Wood Fireplace, Kayaks & Modern Kitchen

Gather your crew at this spacious Lakefront Lodge!
Camp Watanda has historically been a spectacular and memorable large acreage camp for Bay Area Pioneer girls since 1927. Transformed into a special retreat in 2002 for guests, families, and weddings! Under new ownership, and it's only going to get better!

The entire lodge, its' stunning full-length deck, meadow vistas, pine views, and convenient paved driveway are all yours for your stay. You have direct access to the waterfront, which you can see from the Lodge.

The shoreline of the lake, the rolling lawn, the dock, the lake toys: kayaks and canoes are all shared accessories with other guests in the little cabin (4 people) on Watanda's glorious acreage.

There are other buildings on the property which will be occupied by us (the owners) and other guests. Also, you are on a beautiful shared lake where kids are living out their most fun summer camp dreams.

**Important things to know about our special property...

The Lake is seasonal and is empty approximately from October 1 - March 30 each year; exact dates are dependent upon rainfall.

In the winter, the empty lake's lush green meadow/valley is a beautiful gathering spot for animals of all kinds. Rock Creek winds through the meadow at a minimal, slow Winter's pace, keeping the area green and teeming with Wildlife.

Pets are allowed up to 2 dogs. $50 per stay. Please be mindful of other guests and make sure to clean up after them.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a great stay here and would definitely come back again. Check-in was super smooth and easy, and the hosts were very communicative throughout the entire stay. The property itself is beautiful, with a really nice little lake and plenty of kayaks and other things to use and enjoy. Everything was well kept and relaxing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we would absolutely stay here again.

Liked: Check-in, communication
The lake is beautiful. The cabin was clean but the patio was not ready for use. There is only 1 bedroom (not 2) that sleeps 6-7. The one bathroom was a little challenging, but that's my fault for not reading more carefully. The owner was nice and communication was good. Overall, this place has potential and I know they will work on it since they just recently bought the place.
