Rustic retreat in the woods! Our family had a great few days at the Badwater Lodge. The place was clean and well stocked with plenty of room to spread out. The games were fun and the lake access was great too. Communication with the host was easy and timely throughout.

Great property for family time

This was a great place for us to stay at. It was not too far from what we had planned to do in the area. It was relaxing to sit on the deck and look out over the river. There was plenty to of games to keep the kids occupied and have family game nights. The neighbors are a little close, but overall, the house is nice and provided the escape we were looking for.

Great stay!

This was exactly what we were looking for. We do an annual guys weekend where we fish and golf. This spot was very close to some good courses and the fishing on the river was great! We caught crappies, bass, and northerns. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Would definitely look to come here again on future trips.

Everything we needed for a comfortable fishing trip. Way more room than we needed (we could have accommodated all of our kids and grand-kids)!Beautiful view and quiet surroundings. Steps down to the dock were pretty steep so it didn’t work for my husband, but I got a good workout going up and down and there are benches along the way. Gave 4 out of 5 stars on cleanliness for outdoor gathering spaces only - indoor living areas all very clean.

The house was perfect for my husband and older children. The kids were able to fish every day and relax in the water. Easy access to the UTV trails which where great fun with the recent rains, and plenty of activities in the surrounding communities. We will definitely coming back again 😊

Really nice stay!

Great property and location overall. Owner was helpful and quick to answer all questions. Cabin inside had everything you could need. Outdoor equipment did lack for activities. The fire pit was nice but the location is not very private and seems like it would be difficult to find a better place.

Thanks for the 5 star review and for the helpful tips and we will see what we can do. The fire pit would be hard to move anywhere else because of a potential fire hazard. We have tried to make it easy access and as private as possible.

Beautiful view, neighbors are close by

Nice cabin with good views. To get to the lake you need to go down very steep stairs. The lake is beautiful and the fishing is good. The cabin does have two very close neighbors, and also has water with lots of sulfur in it, I would recommend bringing your own water. Overall a great cabin and beautiful area.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug 2020
Thanks for your kind comments! We had the water tested recently and it passed with better results than regular drinking water. There is also a brand new water heater and whole house filtration system. With that said there is some sulphuric smell depending on the time of the year and we also bring our own drinking water with us when we stay. We cook with the well water.
