  We invited our children and grandchildren to stay with us. The house was perfect; the setting extraordinary; the amenities abundant! We would like to return. We saw twin fawns, bald eagles, white pelicans,… The bats were fun to watch.

  Positives Great location, clean, parking, instructions and house manual, photos.NegativesDoor to master bedroom will not stay closed.Bathrooms do not lock.Dishwasher mounting- when you open the door the whole unit moves. Needs to be permanently mounted. 1 1/2 bathrooms- Vrbo website said 2 No picture of washer and dryer in basement/cellar in pictures.Inaccurate picture of bunk bed- has three beds, not two.Inaccurate pictures of AC units in all bedrooms- they are floor units with pipes leading out the windows. None of the pictures on the website showed this. AC unit in bunk room -when we arrived it was hot and this unit was not plugged in. We plugged it in and it tripped off the unit and the one in the master bedroom. Contacted owner and he sent electrician to fix while we were at dinner. When we got back the unit in master was working but unit in bunk room was unplugged again. Decided to set up a floor fan for daughter blowing on her so she could sleep.Ceiling fan in bunk room not working.No follow-up on AC problem- owner never checked back after telling us “electrician is on the way”. I had to text him the next day to see if we could plug in bunk bed room unit. Response was “electrician had said that the AC units are drawing too much power. It’s possible that if you use both it might pop the breaker again.” I responded “ OK, we won’t plug it in.” We later found a review for the property on Airbnb for 5/19/25 by Anne R. that problem was previously noted.

  Blown away! Amazing lodge deep in the woods. I only gave the "Accuracy of Online Listing" three stars - not five - because it truly does not do the property justice. If I were to design my own lodge - it would look a lot like this. The interior is well thought out and decorated wonderfully. With a creek, a pond and a lake! This is an incredible property with bocce ball, fire pits, fire places, a game room, huge trees, stars galore and tons of good vibes. No mosquitos as the bats took care of them. The frogs croaking at night was beautiful. Shooting stars. Bald eagles. We had a mini family reunion and everyone had a blast. And renting a pontoon boat at nearby Lake of the Woods was so fun. If you need a good dose of nature and fresh air, this is the spot. Wished I brought my mountain bike - or road bike - both look epic.
