"The host was very welcoming & explained & went thru everything with us! Host was very helpful & came out right away if we needed anything at all. And very good at communicating with us right away. When we drove up to their beautiful lodge, our grandkids were so excited & couldn’t believe that all of this lodge was ours for a few day! And then when we went inside they were amazed at all the rooms. Then we took them outside & said these other buildings are also ours for the days we were there. We showed them the game room building & their mouths were wide open with unbelief that they got to play this all weekend, then they saw the hot tub & extra bedroom in there also. They were deciding who get what bed in what building. And then outside another building was the sauna, which was amazing. There was so much to do there for the time we were there we didn’t even leave the lodge what we called “ our very own resort oasis”! I could go on & on with all the amenities, it couldn’t have been more perfect for our family 13, everyone had a bed, & the kids never got bored! We all agreed we want to come back there & stay longer. We made so many wonderful memories that will be with us forever! As our dad always said, “ it’s all about the memories”! So thank you Darby & Rebekah for the wonderful memories! Mark, Cindy & family"

"Our August family summer vacation on Strand Island was perfect. Large cabin with many rooms for the large group we had. Plenty of space inside, the wrap around porch was absolutely perfect for games and the kids loved the swinging beds. We made use of the large outside field area and had many competitive games of wiffle ball. The swimming area was great, and the kayaks were used daily. The views and sunsets were amazing. We definitely recommend Strand Island for a large group get away."
