Great for a larger group!

We had an awesome stay in this lodge! This was perfect for our large group with two living areas and plenty of room to spread out. Would have loved to have some carpet or a big comfy couch for more of the warm cabin feel, but it wasn’t necessary for our group and the grounds/space is awesome!

Great location for a peaceful weekend away

Our group of friends had a great stay. Very nice location on a quiet road adjacent to a county park. The fire pit in a clearing in the woods is so nice. Ample space for sleeping and gathering, and 5 full bathrooms is a huge plus. Highly recommend!

Family get together

We had a great time relaxing in this spacious quiet country home. We had a group of 11 and there was plenty of room for everyone. We grilled a few meals, walked the trails, and enjoyed the firepit. Place was clean and property well kept. All in all this was a great place for our family to spend quality time together

Wonderful Weekend

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate big birthdays with family!! Beautiful, peaceful, and spacious!! We loved sitting on the huge porch and talking and enjoying the lovely view. We enjoyed the pond as well. Such wonderful memories! We hope to come back!!

An unreal escape.

Amazing place to stay. You won’t beat it. The only problem is they can’t slow down time while you’re there. And, if it applies to you as a veteran/first responder with PTSD or CPTSD, you can literally feel the weight of it again when you leave. But the break, even if just for a bit, Is worth it.

Best Family Vacation Home we've ever stayed in!!!

This fabulous rural property fit our needs perfectly… Eight adults ranging 40 years to 68 years and eight "kids "ranging seven years to 18 had plenty of space to spread out and explore and also plenty of room to join together for meals and games… The only change I would say is please do more photos and explanation of this fabulous house… We were very, very pleasantly surprised to have TWO kitchens, an amazing wraparound deck and all the other amenities that came with the Hero Lodge. Jennifer was a fabulous hostess, and everyone in our family voted to come back again next year!!!

Wonderful for Large Gatherings

We loved our stay at this property. There was plenty of space for the 12 of us to spread out or to be together. It’s a beautiful, clean home with all the amenities. I’d love to come back in the summer or fall to explore the property more, but we loved it!

family vacation

Quiet setting with plenty of room for all of us (3 generations) to spread out. We enjoyed sitting on the lovely covered deck listening to birds, watching deer as well as watching the storms pass thru. Large table so we could all eat together and play games. Some used the paddle boat and canoes. Nice facility and wheelchair accessible. good to have 2 kitchens available for meal prep.

Spacious house in relaxing setting

The house was perfect for high school friends to get together. All bedrooms have a bathroom which is great. Two kitchens helped so much with needed refrigerator space as we always take too much food. The beds are super comfortable. We will stay here again next year.

Family Get Away

The place was very clean and set up was nice for a large gathering. There are two kitchens, one stocked well. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms. There were several taxidermy animals throughout the space. These are not shown in the listing or pictures. The pond is lovely to look at but is not swimmable. Enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful property. Very large, able to accommodate our large family. Loved that there were two kitchens as we had some people whom stairs were difficult for. The kitchen and bedroom in the ground level were ideal. Definitely will be back!!

Great place for our family

This house worked out great for our family of 14. Each couple had their own bathroom which is a huge plus. The kitchen was very nice - maybe could have used a crockpot and a few other kitchen items but it worked out ok. A nice location but you have to be ok with driving dusty gravel roads which we are used to. A little short on bath towels and dish towels but we just ran the washing machine more often. Would recommend to anyone wanting a big house for a gathering.

Great place for a family reunion

This house was one of the most beautiful VRBOs we've had the pleasure of staying at. From the open family gathering spaces to the door pit and pond we never ran out of things to keep the 9 little grandkids busy. We enjoyed watching deer grazing at sunrise, using the paddle boat to give rides with the littles, and sitting on the spacious deck reading and visiting. Can't say enough nice things about this wonderful retreat. We will definitely be back next year
