It is a quiet location and a great space for all of us!! There are plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, living room and kitchen areas. The only thing that could have made it better was some type of bug repellent, either spraying the yard or candles/torches to help with the mosquitoes!

We didn't realize that this home was built for veterans... a place for them to unwind, hunt, fish, and to enjoy their families and each other. The setting is beautiful with wide open space, a pond, walking areas, and is very tranquil. The home has two living areas and kitchens - perfect for large families - but very simple... almost humbling, knowing its true purpose. We (eight 61-69 yo siblings & spouses) definitely enjoyed our stay!

Great for a larger group!

We had an awesome stay in this lodge! This was perfect for our large group with two living areas and plenty of room to spread out. Would have loved to have some carpet or a big comfy couch for more of the warm cabin feel, but it wasn’t necessary for our group and the grounds/space is awesome!

Great location for a peaceful weekend away

Our group of friends had a great stay. Very nice location on a quiet road adjacent to a county park. The fire pit in a clearing in the woods is so nice. Ample space for sleeping and gathering, and 5 full bathrooms is a huge plus. Highly recommend!
