Tucked away amid six acres of wooded landscape, the lodge offers a private retreat with plenty of room for everyone in your group. Relax on the covered 80 foot deck; gather the family around the fire pit; paddle your kayak or canoe around stunning Clear Lake from the boat launch two minutes away; serve dinner for 30 around the farmhouse tables inside and out.

Matt's Stag Party
Great facilities! The guys were super happy with the bedrooms, and the groom loved the master suite. So glad there were two fridges and the grill was an absolute god send when we NEEDED burgers and dogs. We had an awesome time building a fire and hanging on the Adirondacks with the picnic table playing bags. 5 Star stay!!!!

We love the location because there was no outside distractions. All rooms were super clean. Host are fast to responses to messages. We left some stuff behind and the host was kind enough to deliver it to my home. Definitely recommend this place and will book again. Thank you Mark and Acacia.
