Place was amazing, plenty of place to sleep, nice room for ping pong and pool and to hangout as a group and a hot tub to wind down. Made an excellent bachelor party for a sober groom!
We had a wonderful time at the Life is Good Lodge! Enough space for 4 andults with 3 teens and 2 pre-teens and we enjoyed the hot tub and the outdoor brick oven!
The property was very clean and we know the water level was low from lack of rainfall, but a BEAUTIFUL place to stay! Good fishing and many things to accommodate the family!
We stayed 3 nights (all family members) and our dog and we had a fantastic trip!This rental property is great for small or larger groups.Plenty of space to relax alone or gather together.It was very clean and well supplied. We would recommend a stay here… Hope to be back in the summer months!
We stayed here over the 4th of July and had an amazing time. The beach area was perfection! A sandy beach with shallow water for all the little ones to play. And, we loved having two separate family spaces for when the days/nights got a little rainy. The property manager responded very quickly to any concerns to ensure our stay was perfect.
Property was super easy to book and owners were great at checking in, answering any questions, and sending all the information we needed! Weather wasn't great, so we didn't get to use any of the lake stuff, but the hot tub came in handy on the cold days.
We needed a place that could meet all of our needs for a Christmas stay. This place was exactly what we were looking for; close to family, large enough to accomodate 4 couples two babies, and our family pets. It was clean, and had all the amenities you need. The host was personable, easy to contact and very quick to respond.
Rented this place for 4 nights. Lost of fishing. Water was low at the dock.....tough to get a bigger boat in.
House was clean and furnished nicely. Lots of fun activities to do inside and out.
Would defenitely go back!!
This property was just as pictured! The cabin was clean and we had everything we could need. If you are going with family and young kids it is perfect!! The lake is shallow by the cabin, not weedy or rocky and has a great beach for the kids to play. The cabin was stocked with beach toys, lake toys and baby items. We also enjoyed the addition of the hot tub. I would definitely recommend and would come back again!
The owner was amazing, she was easy to get ahold of and responded almost immediately. we initially had a few missteps that she remedied and then went out of her way to make our family vacation memorable!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Plenty of space for everyone. The amenities were wonderful! We did note a few areas that needed better cleaning, such as shower tile and floor and found random garbage remnants from previous renters. However, that did not make or break our stay at all. We all had a peaceful weekend enjoying all the various things to do.
The beachfront and lake definitely make this property! The host was great at communicating. The outside of the property could be cleaned up better but overall it was a great property. The lake is sandy and the water was crystal clear!
Our family had the most fun summer vacation at #lifeisgoodlodge. The house is beautiful and fit us comfortably. They have so many amenities that keep every age busy! Everything you need from baby stuff to adult fun is provided. We hope to come back again! Erin, the host, responded very quickly to any messages and ensured our stay was the best! We are all very thankful for her hospitality and generosity.
Check-in/out was a breeze. Hosts were very responsive (w/n 10 min) when I had questions. A sandy private beach area and wonderful shallow, sand-bottom area out to the lake. When the kids weren't in the shallows they were in the large hot tub or playing pool. Plenty of open space in kitchen, dining and (2) living room spaces. Clean and neat bedrooms, lots of towels for beach and for indoors.
Excellent property for large group. Plenty of room for all. Paddle board and kayak available, well-kept beach, pet friendly. Have fire pit, outdoor pizza oven, grill. Large back yard for yard games. Dock in place for tethering. Would book here again! Also, had pool table, darts, and ping pong table that got a lot of use. Great communication with Erin also!
