Our stay at the lodge was perfect. The house is so spacious that our family of 12 had plenty of space. We so enjoyed the free kayaks and other water toys! It is a stunning lake with lots to do close by. Make sure you rent the golf cart as the hill to the house is a tough one to walk.

Perfect get away for multi family vacation. The cabin had plenty of bedrooms for everyone, with each bedroom with thier own private bathroom. Lake is huge, giving everyone plenty of room to do thier boating, tubing, fishing or jet ski's. Boat dock was nice, and could do fishing from the dock.Property also provided kayaks for renters use, which the grandkids enjoyed. Great place and would rent again.

Getaway

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Lodge! It was beautiful, clean, and the owner was responsive and polite! Plenty of space to get together and eat, enjoy the view, or hangout in the den. Location wise - it’s a bit off the beaten path, but we were still less than an hour drive from most major tourist attractions.

Amazing!

Our family of 15 all enjoyed our stay! There was something for everyone to do. We enjoyed the lake, pool and amazing views. We rented a boat from a local marina and spent a lot of time on the lake. I highly recommend renting the golf cart to get down to the pool and dock! Our stay was great and we plan to go back!!
