Our group does frequent trips and rentals and all agreed this is the best value location we have ever rented. The lodge is beautiful and extremely well provisioned and set up to accommodate larger groups such as ours. The kitchen is chef’s quality and we have two in our group! There are two others in our group who are mobility challenged and felt safe and unrestricted. We rarely say this, because we like to experience other places, but here we can say we’ll be back next Spring!

Our stay was supremely comfortable and luxurious at this gorgeous home. It was perfect for my dad's 70th birthday with my family and my sister's family. We had so much fun gabbing around the fireplace in the living room - there was plenty of space for us all to sit. We played games all day at the huge table in the dining room, alternating between that and bocce. And we cooked a delicious dinner in the state of the art kitchen. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. We had an absolute blast. We made such wonderful memories. Thank you so so much for having us! We will be back again and again!

We had the most wonderful stay! The house is absolutely beautiful, and every detail has been thought of. The kitchen was a delight to cook in, with every thing you could ever possibly need. The yard and patio were so peaceful, the beds were cozy, and the living area was perfect for game night. We had a perfect stay. Thank you so much!

Perfect property with all amenities and lawn sport toys for 3 generations to enjoy, 5 seniors, 6 parents, and 5 littles played bocce ball, croquet and badminton on the various lawns and swam and used the paddle boat on the little and big ponds. The kitchen and dining area was big enough for many hands and seats, and the 2 different video screens allowed both kid and adult movies to be enjoyed simultaneously.
