Its an amazing out in the country place to stay with a large group. The accommodations met all our needs. When we needed something or assistance with anything the host was very gracious and helpful. The large deck was a plus with a large crowd. This is the second time we have been there.

We had a great time. There was plenty of room to spread out or be together. The pond was beautiful and the deck was cool and shaded to watch over the antics. We had a dance party for the kids in the big game room and used it also for a girls time before family photos.

Family Vacation

This was a home away from home for us. With our family having different activities in our lives, the lodge allowed everyone to come and go as they needed to. This was our 5th year coming here because of it being a central location, it's cleanliness, and having activities available. The family loves the kitchen and it's appliances and cooler!

Awesome venue for large group fun!!!

We needed a large place for a college reunion - multiple families with kids of all ages. This place delivered! Plenty of beds, lounge space, clean, secluded and tons of fun for everyone - kids and adults. The kids only got out of the lake for rain and the adults had plenty of space to chat, relax, and/or play games. Thanks for the memories!!!

Family Reunion

The property was perfect for our family reunion. Plenty of bedroom space. The kitchen was a little small for the size of our group, but everything we needed was there. The large sitting room was perfect for our family and we played lots of games on the tables. Not sure if we will come back to the area, but if we do we would love to come back here!

Wonderful Labor Day!

This lodge was perfect for our group! Plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved swimming, using the kayaks, and fishing. The yard was great for yard games too! The adults loved sitting on the large deck and visiting while still being able to watch the kids play. At night the stars were beautiful and we even saw some shooting stars too! Stacey was wonderful to work with. Great time making wonderful memories.

Family time

Lots of green space and house had lots of room for 29 of us It was our annual family get together. The main issue was the pond. It was not fit to swim in. Which was a big disappointment
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 12 January 2024
Barbara, we enjoyed your group. We are sorry that you did not find the pond to your liking. This 2023 season was very dry which lead to an increase in algey blooms, that may have made it unpleasant for swimming. Mother Nature has control over that. We do have some measures in place that we hope will remedy further issues. Thank you for staying with us and we will hope to see you back sometime in the future.

Wonderful Stay for a Multi-Family Getaway

We stayed at this cabin with a group of five families, and it was the perfect setting for a relaxing and fun-filled getaway. The cabin itself was spacious, with large common areas that made it easy for all of us to gather, share meals, and spend quality time together without ever feeling cramped.The outdoor space was a highlight—there’s a beautiful pond with paddle boats that the kids (and adults!) absolutely loved. The open grassy area was ideal for games, running around, or just lounging in the sun. It felt like we had our own private retreat in nature.The cabin was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable for a group of our size. The layout worked great for multiple families, with enough room for both privacy and togetherness.Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a peaceful and family-friendly place to stay with a large group. We’re already talking about coming back next year!

Getaway gathering

The host Stacey was very prompt and effecient to communicate with. Our access to the property was a bit of a hiccup. A grain machine nearly had the driveway blocked to get onto the property. Once there, we had to communicate with the host to get into the house as the door was not unlocked like we had discussed the day before. Again, she was prompt to resolve the situation. The house was very accommodating and had great amenities. The outdoor spaces were very nice. We loved the primitive firepit with stocked wood! This place is huge and could hold a lot of people! Beautiful place to get away from city life!

Things that need attention.

The hot tub needs repair. A light in the first floor bedroom was flickering. There were bugs in the king bedroom that annoyed the guest staying there. You need better storage for life jackets, paddles, etc. There need to be directions on how to operate the TV's and what channels are available. You need a sign at the entrance so it is easier to identify. Overall a good property, just more attention to detail.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home is large and worked very well for our group, with plenty to keep everyone occupied throughout the trip. The outdoor space was definitely the highlight — from paddle boating and kayaking to swimming and simply relaxing outside, there was always something for everyone to enjoy.The host was wonderful, attentive, and responsive, which made the stay even better. The indoor space was good overall, and we especially loved having the walk-in fridge/food storage, which was extremely helpful for a large group.The only thing we would have loved is a more open kitchen space, especially since our group enjoys spending a lot of time cooking and gathering in the kitchen. Even with that, the property was a great fit for a large group, and we truly enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our stay with friends and family at your lodge. There was plenty of room for everyone. We loved the walk in fridge, which allowed for a lot of prepared foods to stay fresh. Lots of kitchen tools, pots and pans, turners, whisks, ice cream scoops, etc.
