Why they chose this property
We are 3rd generation owners of Odie's Place. Odie was my grandmother and in honor of her we share this very special place with you. As a family we spent precious summer days swimming, skiing and fishing endlessly. We worked at the local grocery store as teenagers to ensure our keep. We shared so much laughter, joy and peace filled weeks together. The memories continue to be made and we hope you will be a part of them by making your own while here. Odie's is a very special place! Odie would insist you sleep in, eat and/or drink every hour and return often. Please honor her request.
