Great Location to Float the Buffalo from
We had 10 adults staying here for two nights. We enjoyed canoeing one day down the Buffalo and relaxing by the firepit at night. 3 rooms on main level (2 kings, 1 queen) and 2 rooms upstairs (2 kings + 2 twin beds in each room upstairs too). Nice porch to sit and watch the sun set over the trees. Really had a nice time. If there were any suggestions I would say bring kleenex and toilet paper (the TP was some discount corporate brand) and maybe a big bath towel (the bathroom towels were on the smaller size and fairly broken in by previous renters). Those are little things though and the property and atmosphere there was very nice.

Mostly Pleasant
The lodge was beautiful and extremely clean. The owner was quick to respond to any questions I had as well as very accommodating. We asked to check in a couple of hours early and she arranged for that to be possible. The property was beautiful. My only complaint was the AC. We are from Louisiana so we are very used to the heat, however when we sleep we want it cold. The upstairs rooms were very warm (understandably so) so we turned the AC down to 68. Every time we would leave and come back it was back on 70. The owner was wirelessly turning it up when we left. I understand electric bills are crazy expensive right now but we paid a lot of money and didn’t want to air to be changed unless we were changing it. Other than that it was a great vacation spot!

Relaxing
This house was large enough to hold all 17 of us! Very comfortable and beautiful scenery. The living room furniture has definitely seen its better days - should really be replaced! Other than that, this was a great place to stay.

Family gathering
Lodge was very clean and roomy. Beds were comfortable. There was plenty of cookware, but much of it was in pretty bad shape; I will bring my own next time. You may want to specifically ask about the hot tub prior to your stay. We found that it had no water in it, which was a little disappointing, but not a deal killer. We'd book again for a similar gathering.

Great Stay
We got lost a few times, but the lodge gave us plenty of space to stay and relax. The game room was neat, but pool sticks were pretty worn, so if pool is your thing, bring a stick or two. Also, not an issue for us, but it’s about a half hour from a store. Bring what you need or plan for an hour of drive time.
