this is a fantastic space for large groups to be together - big gathering areas, lots of bedrooms, good outside spaces - it was perfect for our large family gathering. This is a rustic lodge so don't expect a lot of modern amenities, and we were fine with that. The place was not very clean when we got there - the floors had not been swept and we felt we had to wash anything we took out of the cabinets, and some of the blankets on the beds were disgusting. But there were a lot of towels and linens and we could change them. the stove is absolutely antique and we had a hard time lighting the pilot light and we smelled gas a lot so we kept the kitchen windows open for fear of CO2 poisoning, the dining room fireplace did not work, but the great room fireplace did work. The pontoon boat did not work, but host let us use the "party pontoon boat" without charging us. There were some rooms that the lights did not work in (right off the kitchen). So the upkeep on the lodge could have been better, the cleaning could have been better, but the space itself was great.
