We absolutely loved this place!! The kids missed the Wi-Fi but it gave us more quality time. The kids were able to go spotting at night which they love. We did our Thanksgiving and Christmas and they had it all decorated for Christmas which was just so perfect. Would definitely recommend and go back next year!!

Better than pictured!

Check in was easy, there’s updated Adirondack chairs on back deck and extra comfortable sofas in the living room. The lodge itself is so spacious and is perfect for a family gathering! Clean and perfect location for fishing, boating, and swimming in the state park.

Very nice comfortable stay! The place is huge and perfect for a big group. We loved sitting out back on the deck and by the fire. The location was awesome right next to a walking trail and the beach was so close and convenient!
