Another great stay at the lodge.
This was our families second fall visit to the lodge. Checked in and found the place inviting and clean as usual. Owners were easy to communicate with and answered all our questions promptly. Found all the boats and kitchen appliances in good working order. Well stocked for baking and cooking. We enjoyed both the fire-pits on the beach and on the back deck. We had a birthday to celebrate and with the owners permission lit off a few fireworks. Especially enjoyed seeing deer stroll the the backyard at dawn and dusk. Had a lot of fun catching and releasing fish on the pontoon boat and front dock area. Overall another great experience for everyone and we’re already planning a summer trip back so we can enjoy some swimming and the diving board!

Great Return Trip
We enjoyed ourselves so much the first time we stayed at The Lodge that we decided to bring our whole family back this time! We had such an amazing time and The Lodge is outfitted with everything you need for a group and Tom and Beverley do such a great job to ensure you are comfortable and have everything you need for your stay to the best possible! What great hosts! What a great location!

Absolutely amazing and unique stay.
This place is unbelievable. Unlike any vacation we have went on as a family. Set in between two amazing lakes with a pontoon and kayaks. First time I’ve ever jumped off a diving board into a lake. My mother was able to ride her first kayak as well as my daughter’s first try all by herself. Everybody loved the indoor pool. We had so much fun being able to swim around with the jets going. Tried out both fire pits. Both were amazing. One night on the beach looking at the stars. The second night we had a movie on a projector with a fire in the back. The house itself is very impressive with enough room for everyone. There are views from everywhere on the first floor. There were too many details and amenities to mention them all but we can’t wait to return.

Peaceful and secluded
We had a great time at this property - It's a great location if you want to disconnect and enjoy quality time with family, we highly recommend it if that's what you are looking for. The property is secluded, and being able to kayak and fish right out your backdoor was great . Tom and Beverly are committed to ensuring their guests are happy - Thank you both for sharing your property, it is a gem!! We cant say enough good things about it, it is stocked with everything you need and the owners attention to ensuring you are comfortable with everything is 5 STAR! The peaceful surroundings is exactly what we loved about it.

This place has something for everyone. This was our 3rd stay and the first with the in-laws . They had a great time catching fish, watching movies with the grandkids and making s’mores at the fire pit. Having the 3rd bathroom now made this stay even easier. We’re looking forward to next time!

Husbands Hunting Trip
I booked this property for my husband and his buddies to hunt the property. They had a great time and my husband got the biggest buck he's ever gotten! I did not stay this trip but our family stayed for spring break this past spring and had a nice relaxing time. The pool is a blast, even for adults, and the property itself is beautiful and really private. House is large and accommodating for families :)
