Lakeside Lodge

Every year we head to the beach. This year we decided to mix it up! We spent more time together as a family of 11 than we ever have. We cooked every night and we played games and laughed. We purchased a huge raft an tied it to the dock and laid in it everyday. If you are wanting a relaxing vacation, look no further this place is beautiful and spotless. It is equipped with everything you need.

Overall, a great location and property for our large family gathering. We were able to comfortably situate our party of eight adults and seven kids with the room and bed layout and had plenty of space to enjoy our stay without feeling on top of each other. Location was great and beautiful view of the lake and surrounding mountains, easy to get to location and still felt very private. The only issue we had was a very loud and squealing/whining water pipe in the ceiling of one of the lower bedrooms that could be heard up to the main floor when the water was running. Found the source in the drop ceiling but it is the main water valve coming into the house and thus couldn't be turned off. Fortunately, as long as no one was using the water overnight, it did not affect being able to sleep in the room but once folks started waking up, the kids sleeping in that room would be rudely awakened. Other than that, everything was great and would still recommend.

My two daughters and their families my Husband and myself all had room to be together. We had an amazing time together.

Home was very clean and well designed to accommodate multiple guests. Home is also very well appointed with kitchen appliances, utensils, cookware and dishes. Beds and furniture are very comfortable. Absolutely love the big game hunting theme decor. The dock has two slips and was perfect for our 18’ ski boat and other water toys. Great swimming area for the kids. Driveway is steep, but very manageable with plenty of room to park cars and boat trailer. Great memories from our trip and will definitely plan on bringing our family back again. To the owners, thanks for allowing us to spend a week in your beautiful home.

Cabin was perfect for our little get together. In the mountains, on the lake, and walking distance to a local brewery…..what else could you ask for?!?!?

We booked this beautiful house to share with my brother's family, our parents and his in laws. In total we had 9 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs. Everyone had plenty of room, the rooms were very comfortable and we had a lovely 4 days stay together celebrating Christmas. We arrived in the early evening our first night, it was very chilly and it took a bit of time to get the house warmed up. Several of the rooms were in the 50's according to the thermostat and they were still on cool function instead of heating. There were lots of extra blankets available in closets so we were fine. It's not shown in the photos but the driveway is extremely steep. If you only have 1 vehicle you could always park at the top and walk through the grass but parking was a bit of a challenge for us since we had 5 vehicles. The stairs from the main level down to the lowest level are also very steep. The kids did fine (that's where the bunk room and twin room are) but they were a challenge for grandparents. Overall it was a great stay once we figured things out and got everyone settled in where they could access things easiest. Both kitchens were well stocked, we cooked a big holiday dinner and had plenty of room for all the cooks. We enjoyed great walks and lots of play time outside. There are multiple stores and restaurants within a short drive or walk. It would have been lots of fun to have a fire pit in the yard, hopefully that's something that the owners will add in the future. The management company was very helpful and had put up Christmas decorations for us which we really appreciated.
