Our lodge overlooks a pristine 1.5 acre lake stocked with large and smallmouth bass, bluegill, catfish, and crappie for catch-and-release fishing. We offer a canoe, john boat, and two kayaks for paddling. With plenty of waterfowl and birds to watch, our screen/glass porch, complete with wood-burning stove, is the ideal observation and relaxation spot. Venture outside to the secluded patio. Partake in a seasonal outdoor rain shower and enjoy a soak in our six person hot tub. No extra charge for star gazing.
We have a fire pit (firewood provided), a gas grill, and an 8-foot picnic table. Whether you want to dine inside or out, the lodge offers everything you need. Board games and community musical instruments complete your entertainment options.
If you’re in the mood to venture off property, we have a comprehensive guide to local restaurants and attractions; there’s no shortage of memorable places to check out just down the road and around the bend!
