About this property

Contemporary Family Lodge, 1/2 mile to Lake!

Leave everyday life behind -- visit Oak Leaf Lodge at Graylag Nature Preserve to relax in a comfortable rustic environment with family and friends. Our 6 family-style cottages share the lakefront so you can enjoy swimming, fishing, sailing and boating, or explore the miles of trails within our 300-acre woodland preserve. Spend evenings cooking over the fire and roasting marshmallows while listening to the calls of owls and loons.

Graylag is perfect for family reunions and group retreats. You can rent one cabin or the entire property.

Oak Leaf Lodge is a house with 2 comfortable upstairs rooms with queen beds and a large basement 'bunk room' with 4 twin beds. The main level features an open layout dining and living area with gas fireplace, kitchen, bath and a cozy reading area. There is a large deck overlooking the forest and another outdoor lounge area with chairs and a hammock off of the basement room. Oak Leaf Lodge is available year-round. The fully equipped kitchen includes a microwave, coffeemaker and tableware. There is an outdoor charcoal grill. Bed linens, kitchen and bath towels, and biodegradable soap are provided.

Oak Leaf Lodge guests enjoy full use of the Graylag property including miles of walking trails out the back door, the lakefront beach and fire pit as well as use of the kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and sailboat. The Lodge is located near the entrance to the Graylag property, approximately 1/2 mile from the lake.

Please note: no smoking and no pets. Also, please be aware that all bedrooms are located either up or down a flight of stairs, and may therefore be difficult for young children, the elderly, or anyone for whom stairs are a challenge.

We want to come back!

The cabin is located in a beautiful nature preserve. The staff were very responsive and even came on Christmas Eve to help us with the fireplace. We wish we had more time to explore and would love to stay in the summer.

Nice house

It was a very nice property. The only complaint would be the basement that did have a bedroom was very musty smelling. I know that is to be expected since it's a basement but I didn't think a bedroom was in the basement. Those that slept there were very congested and coughing and sneezing the whole time.

Mother and daughters getaway

We chose this cabin because of the light coming from all the windows and the skylight. It felt like being in a treehouse looking out at all the green trees around us. The downstairs room with four beds would be great for a family with kids but we chose to enjoy the two upstairs rooms. The stairs are a little steep but my 88-year-old mother made it up and down just fine. The cabin is a half mile from the lake so sometimes we chose to drive instead of walking down to the lake. There is whimsical art along the road and the trails which just make you smile. We took a canoe and paddled to the marsh and listened to a loud chorus of frogs and watched some loons. If the weather was warmer we would have tried out some of the other watercraft that's available. We lucked out and got to go on a nature walk with a scientist to some vernal pools. I wish I had had a place like this to go to when my kids lived at home. Even though we are older, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

The whole package

This property was above my expectations. It was in a beautiful location with plenty of space inside and out. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen and eating space were amenable, and we appreciated all the bedrooms and bathrooms! The hosts were communicative and made it clear they were there to help as needed, but we also had plenty of privacy. Totally worth all five stars!

If you are looking for a calm and peaceful experience, this is the place. The hosts go out of their way to accommodate your needs. The house is spacious and so charming. The grounds are lush with plants and wildlife. The grounds are filled with nature inspired art pieces. There is a surprise around every corner. Beautiful lake for fishing, swimming or sitting by a fire, within walking distance. Nature lovers will not be disappointed.

Loved our stay!

What a wonderful surprise we had when we first drove to Graylag and walked in the house. This is a truly unique, quaint and beautiful place. The house was spacious, beautifully decorated and very clean. It had everything we needed. The grounds were well ….spectacular! We took walks on the paths, hunted for blueberries, soaked in the amazing views and played in the water. The porches put you right in the middle of the forest and it’s both peaceful and beautiful! We really loved this place and have plans to come back soon. With the large picture window I can only imagine how vivid the colors must be!!

Peaceful retreat

This is the second stay at oak leaf lodge. We were pleasantly surprised with the updates done since our last stay. The property is clean and fully stocked with necessities. The three sleeping areas and two bathrooms made it very comfortable for our crew. The spacious deck has great seating area to relax and take in the surrounding nature. Definitely a place we will return to in the future.

Nothing short of amazing!

We had an amazing long weekend staying at Graylag with extended family. The Oak Leaf lodge had plenty of space for all seven of us and the property was clean and supplied with everything you could possibly need. Our kids age ranged from 2-12 and they all had a blast fishing, kayaking, canoeing and swimming. We’re looking forward to booking our next stay!

Our family stayed for a long weekend for our sons wedding in Stratford. We only stayed at the cabin and never did have time to check out the lake. Hopefully we will be back and have more time to do that next time.

Great quite lodge in the woods

Lodge was cozy and great, management was super helpful and attentive, and location was secluded but easy to access! Kitchen was absolutely acceptable but somewhat less than fully stocked for cooking in. (I’m sure if we asked, Anne would have provided whatever we needed). Great place to stay!
