Great place to spend time with Friends!

Great property! Stayed here with a group of old college friends (we graduated 35 years ago). Nice common areas to sit and talk, play cards, watch movies, and enjoy each others' company. Nice large property giving us each our own beds. We definitely will be back in a future year.

Beautiful serene, clean lodge

A group of us 8 ladies stayed for a Womens Winter Weekend. The lodge was the perfect size, allowing even a cozy-comfy bed for each. It's so accommodating for a group, yet it feels so cozy. the outdoor setting was so peaceful. We loved the outdoor hot-tub.

Great house for multiple families

Had a great stay. No real complaints about the property itself. The only issue to be aware about concerns the location. There are a few restaurants and shops nearish but grocery is about 20-30 minutes away and other main towns with activities like movies, bowling, waterpark are mostly about an hour away. This becomes much less of an issue if it’s summer time and there isn’t 2 feet of snow outside that limits kid activities

Another warm family gathering

A fantastic stay with family cooking and baking together in an open concept kitchen/dining/family area where we could all spread out comfortably and still be together in the same space. Each could retire for the day to their own room, kick back with a movie and video games downstairs in the theater…relax with bubbles and your own music in a large hot tub just outside, and grills at the ready for chicken, steak, and more. The wraparound porch provided uncanny views and plenty of family selfie opportunities. Would def vacay here again!
