Exploration of not only the 40 private acres, yet 1/4 mile of private river front is yours while you are renting the Lodge. The Rapid River Falls adjoin the property and provide many gazing opportunities from one of the 2 decks, or the hammock along the river. The Lodge is filled with positive energy, a sense of fun, excitement and an openness for exploration.

The Lodge has 13 beds + a pull out couch in the living room, sleeping 18 people. The kitchen table allows 18 people to enjoy a meal together. The new, professional-sized propane grill makes it fun for the outside chef in your group! There is also an outside picnic table, and outdoor fire pit to enjoy s'mores! The Lodge has a gorgeous, hand-placed fieldstone fireplace in the grand living room, as well as 2 other wood-burning stoves throughout the Lodge. The Lodge is 100% knotty-pine interior.

Enjoy sitting along the 80' deck, rocking in one of 6 rocking chairs, soaking in the hot tub and rejuvenating with the sounds of the soothing Rapid River Falls. You may also sit inside and enjoy a game on the 52" LCD - HD TV with Dish Network.

Come to the Lodge and rejuvenate, reconnect and enjoy! We look forward to having you stay at the Lodge!
