A perfect place for a family gathering. Things to do for all ages if you like the outdoors. The property is on two bends in the river with beautiful, changing views.

This property is gorgeous! Every one of our guests were so impressed, they swam in the river, sat around the bonfire and enjoyed getting to know each other. There were a few hiccups, ac's not working in the rooms and a sink that fell off the wall but Justin was quick to repair anything we had issue with. I can not say enough good things about Justin, he saved the day several times. The amphitheater was perfect for the wedding ceremony, the grounds kept all of our guests entertained while we prepared for the rehearsal on Friday and the wedding on Saturday. They need to work on the suggested vendor list, much of the information was out of date. I would say that the individual rooms are over priced, however we felt that the price for the Grand Lodge was appropriate. Beautiful memories were made here!!

We rented the great lodge, all of the suites, and about 13 of the individual rooms for the weekend. We used the outdoor activities area and fire pit on Friday night, cooked s’mores and had a marvelous time… We also had a patio party on Bre’s patio and it was perfect! We spent Saturday afternoon down by the river at the dock… Everyone had a great time. The place is immaculate and decorated in luxurious style and authentic details. We had everything that we needed… And then some! Melinda was wonderful to work with and went way above and beyond to help make our weekend so special! They accommodated every request and had even more things we’re available as options if we wanted to include. Our friends and family are still going on and on about how beautiful and relaxing and gorgeous this place was! The owners have gone to great detail and expense to make this place just wonderful! And it shows!! My kids want to go back for Christmas and stay there!! We will be returning hopefully annually!
