We can't wait to help you and your family make lifetime memories. Some things to note: The Lodge is located on a spacious lot in a very small (20 or so homes) lakefront and secondary lakefront community. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet times are 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. The small community beach is privately owned and maintained by the neighborhood. The absolute maximum time allowed for any household to use the beach is 2 hours per day. We require and appreciate that our guests will honor this neighborhood rule. The beach is lovely, but small and it's important that in our usage we recognize the shared space as such. Also, Wi-Fi and general cell service can be spotty here. While guests have access to the Wi-Fi, keep in mind that some days it may be very slow and not the best for working or streaming. We have many DVD choices available in the loft and in the center of the master suite dresser. Lastly, parking is very limited. However, free parking is provided for up to 6 vehicles. There is no turnaround in the driveway so any towed trailers will have to be backed in or out. We thank our future guests for their understanding of these rules and we look forward to hosting you!
