The Lodge has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and can sleep up to 12 guests. The main floor bedroom has a queen size bed, dresser and large closet. The first floor full bathroom is located adjacent to the bedroom and is accessible off the main hallway. The second floor is home to two additional bedrooms. Their large floor plans allow for each room to house a queen log bunk bed (queen mattress on top bunk and queen mattress on bottom bunk) a twin bed, a large dresser and a large closet. The second floor full bathroom is located between the bedrooms and offers a full size shower/tub, double vanities and a large closet. Two twin beds nested in the great room on each side of the fireplace add additional sleeping options.
The huge back deck with a beautiful view of the woods and a small creek is sure to be a popular gathering place. The deck is large enough for some of your group to be unwinding and relaxing, while others are grilling on the Weber charcoal grill or on the watch for an eagle or deer.
Relax at sunset by the fire pit where we supply the wood and chairs and you bring the stories, marshmallows and a cool refreshment.
Just as inside the Lodge is stocked with board games, puzzles, DVDs and books, the outside shed is stocked with plenty of activities and games. As a guest you can challenge each other in our horseshoe pit, set up the net to play badminton or volleyball, play large yard Yahtzee, bocce ball, bag toss or lawn darts.
