The property is clean and the living room is spacious for playing games together. The bedrooms are in the basement and were really cold because of the draft. The bathrooms are a little outdated. The house has plenty of games and activities for a family gathering. The outdoor space would be nice in warm weather.

Birthday Weekend

The property was secluded enough for some privacy. The kitchen was well stocked, and there was numerous inside and outside activities.

family trip

We only had two things that were an issue. One was the towels. 7 adults for 3 days and only 6 towels. There should have been a better option here. Had to do laundry on my trip. Not the best. Also, the garbage restrictions were inconvenient. 8 people, cooked 6 meals there and only two bags of garbage. That was weird. The house was great, the back porch was the best. We loved staying there.

Hi Nancy, I apologize for the amount of towels that were provided for you. That was definitely a mistake and I would have gladly had that taken care of if you had reached out. Unfortunately, the territory does not have a pickup service for trash so we need to limit the amount of bags our guest leave behind. Many home rentals in the territory allow none. The refuse center is a couple minutes down the road for easy trash drop off. Glad you enjoyed your time at the Ravine Lodge! Hope you’ll consider staying again in the future.

Nice and quiet. While we were there during the week, it was perfect. Probably the best thing was the comfortable furniture and bedding, I can’t tell you how many places we’ve stayed at with no comfortable place to sit.Ample kitchen supplies for cooking anything you enjoy. Something to note is that all bedrooms are on the lower level (Stairs). Very good accommodation for the price.
