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!

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!

Large and Comfy!

The place was awesome with lots of beds and super comfy for a large group. We had a great time and loved our stay! We would definitely recommend the blueberry patch nearby for a fun activity. And we would definitely like to come back sometime.

Guys weekend

Great house that had plenty of room for all 26 people to sleep comfortably. The back porch and yard were perfect spots for hanging out and playing games. The fire pit was a nice bonus too. The owner and property manager were easy to work with and provided great communication throughout the weekend. Absolutely loved this place!

Nice place to gather.

People with their own rooms loved it. Several of the “beds” were at best mattresses on the floor or in a closet.

Our family stay

It worked out really well for our annual family get together. The extra beds in various places were great for kid sleeping. The big deck in the back was a fun place for many activities and to be able to watch the games going on down below. The 2 kitchens were really helpful.

Perfect stay for extended family.

Nothing to improve on. It was immaculate. It was perfectly stocked for our group of 31. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors. Plus some bonuses like the second kitchen, basketball court, firepit, large deck. Would absolutely stay again. Nearby coffee shop and ice cream shop were big hits with our group too.

Great place!

This place worked real well for our family reunion of 26. The yard space worked well for yard games for teenagers and 'wanna be teenagers'. Definitely needed the folding tables and chairs:) That many folks with 4 bathrooms certainly took some strategic planning, but this family has always been good at that. Thanks for a place for families from 3 states to meet and enjoy being together!

Wonderful Christmas Stay

We found Green Lodge to be exactly as it was in the listing. The place is spacious, tons of rooms, adequate for a large crowd party. We had Christmas celebration with friends, and everyone was happy with their experience. The owner responds promptly to all inquiries and the location is so close to where we came from that we are planning to rent this place again for summer or fall getaway. Thank you! We had a splendid time!

95 th bday party

A wonderful home to host a multigenerational party for our mom’s 95th bday. Plenty of room for all the adults, grands, and great grands. Beautiful yard and wrap around porch. Huge deck. The house had everything we needed. Check in was easy. The hosts were great. They made sure everything was ready for us. If you have a large group, this is the place to stay!

Green Lodge

The property was beautifully maintained and everyone had plenty of room to visit while the children played inside and outside. The neighbor’s gun range shooting was a little disruptive one evening and drove us inside to escape the noise. We appreciated the note from the owner about a family fun day at the garden center down the road and it was a fun fall afternoon for the children and adults. The house and grounds were great. The neighbor’s shooting range was the only negative.

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!

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.

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.

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.
