This house was the perfect place for our annual family vacation - lots of space and so many bedrooms for our large family. We enjoyed being able to spread out between bedrooms in basement, main floor and upstairs. Property was very clean and the kids loved having a huge driveway and yard to play in. The large kitchen/living room/dining room area was perfect for cooking most of our own meals and we also used the grill. The kids are already asking if we can stay here again next summer!

Perfect for large groups

This property is absolutely perfect for large groups! We go on a trip every summer with a group of college friends and our 4 growing families, and this is the second time we’ve come to the Green Lodge. We have 8 adults and 14 kids (this year ages 7 months-13 yo) and we all fit comfortably. There is so much indoor and outdoor space for the kids, a huge kitchen, basketball court, big deck, and lots more to keep everyone entertained. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect for a family vacation

This is a nice home in a quiet neighborhood and was a perfect fit for our family vacation. Checkin and checkout processes were straightforward and smooth. Some areas where it could be even better are providing bath mats in the bathroom and a knife sharpener in the kitchen :) Overall we enjoyed the stay and would definitely consider this if we were looking for a place in this area.

Had a good trip, overall nice place. A bit dated and could use a good once over with some updates and freshening up but not bad. Poison Ivy seemingly everywhere around in the trees, I understand not much can be done but with a big group of kids made us awfully nervous the whole trip, thankfully no one got it.

Great house for a big gathering

Incredibly spacious, loved the basement, more than enough bedrooms/beds; kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. It was a quick overnight for our group - wasn’t a modern design home, but layout worked well for everyone.

Family reunion

This property was great for our family reunion. We had 20 people, ages 6 to 69. The bedroom set up worked well and the beds were comfortable. It was really helpful to have the extra chairs and tables. Very clean and smelled good too, with great AC. Thanks for sharing your space with us!

Friends/Family weekend at the HUGE Lodge

This property is truly one of the best I have been to for a large event up to 40 people. The house is full of books and games for people wanting to just hang around. The house is very big and spacious. The owners/host of the property are very nice, easy to talk to, and very honest with your stay. I highly recommend this Huge Lodge!

Great stay for a big group.

The Green Lodge comfortably accommodated our large group. In most rentals we end up having some guests sleeping on couches or even air mattresses but the lodge had a bed for everyone.
