The seclusion and tranquility of Thorndyke Lodge are the perfect remedy to the pandemonium of the city on the 4th of July. The property is perfect. Lots for kids to explore, and lots of yard for games. We so appreciated the "Waltons" dining table and the large mud room for all of our things and activities. The beds were clean and comfy, the bathrooms clean, and the kitchen well stocked. We are already planning next year!

We've come to this property for years. It is the right size for our group of friends. We enjoy the remoteness of it and appreciate the simplicity of the lodging while at the same time having what we need to accommodate all of us regarding bathrooms, kitchen facilities and living space.

Disliked: Location
We had a family gathering with our children and grandchildren-10 total. Low tides opened up the beach and mud flats for exploration, which was fantastic. Our kids’ main complaint was how remote the property is from any towns with retail, activities and services. It is about 45 minutes from anything. I personally enjoyed that aspect. But if you want to buy groceries or dine out, it’s a long drive, especially with young children. The property does have a lot of board games, but nothing for outdoor play. Since you’re pretty confined to on site entertainment, it would be good for the owners to add some things like cornhole, horseshoes, bocce ball, and some beach play buckets and tools. My kids also commented that the manufactured home construction didn’t seem to block sound transmission as well as standard construction. Again, it wasn’t an issue for me. But my hearing at 73 isn’t what it used to be!
