Summary: With a family of 15 people (including 6 grandchildren under 16), this lodge couldn’t have been better! The lake with a swim platform just steps away, docks for our two boats, a sauna, big grassy landscaped yard with swing set and horseshoe pits are great for nice days. We had a little rain, so the kids took advantage of the many activities in the game room. The owner was very attentive and answered all our questions. Highly recommend for groups looking for a unique place with lots to do.
