About this property

Lakemore Retreat is comprised of two rental properties: 'Lakemore Lodge '(red house) and 'Lakemore Cottage' (green house). The Retreat is a wonderful option for large family reunions, intimate weddings (50 guests or less), corporate retreats, respectful bachelor and bachelorette parties and family vacations. Each home can be rented individually from their own sites, but many families rent both togeether for the same time period, altogether sleeping up to 24 people comfortably. The calendar on this listing is updated to reflect weeks that have both homes rented. For individual availability and guest reviews, please visit each home's individual sites: Lakemore Lodge (VRBO Listing #655085) Lakemore Cottage (VRBO Listing #653686).
