Cozy cabin, lots of family games

We had a great time at the house. There were lots of family activities to pass the time and we also enjoyed floating in the river and taking the boat out to fish. The kitchen was well-stocked and the house had a lot of character. Beware of the deer flies and mosquitoes.

Wonderful! We took advantage of everything this property had to offer and enjoyed every minute. We lounged around the fire pit, went boating, paddle boarding, and played games. There were some beautiful hiking trails nearby, apple picking, My mother turned 80 this week and she really enjoyed winning the contest and 2 bonus prizes. She wants me to thank John and Donna for their hospitality. Thank you for lending us your home and making our stay special.

Beautiful property, tons of things to do at the house (game room, pontoon boat, hot tub, volley ball etc…). Plus it is the perfect place to have a large family dinner. Huge dining room table with room for 10 people, all the plates, bowls, glasses , silverware you need and pots and pans for cooking. There is also a dw for easy clean up. The beds are comfortable (remember to bring your own sheets and towels) and the showers are hot and very nice. Overall one of my favorite places to stay.

An excellent stay

The drive into the cabin was beautiful, and it’s exactly as it’s described on the listing. Ample space for guests (we had a large party), and it’s location on the water make our stay absolutely wonderful. Clean, quick response to the one question I had, and a friendly welcome made our stay memorable.

This property is exceptional! We have stayed here for work events several times and have been extremely pleased with each experience. This trip, the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed peak fall colors. We prepared lunch and transported it to our St. Lawrence team during trainings we provide as well as hosted a dinner for the leadership team. As a foodie, I can attest to a well appointed kitchen with everything one would need to create wonderful meals. John and Donna are great hosts. Thank you for sharing the Lodge with us.
