About this property

Kitchen, 2 Bedroom, Bath & Laundry, Private entrance, Lake, Wildlife, Quite

We can not accept short term reservations for more than two weeks prior to your stay as we specialize in monthly or longer stays. NO SMOKING! NO PETS! "If anything is smoking it had better be the campfire, otherwise your stay will be extinguished!" Enjoy the coziness and spacious comfort of the Lodge for a great get-a-way. Our home is best described as a two story ranch or a stacked duplex. Guests occupy the lower level, we the hosts occupy the upper level. There is also a cabin that shares the outdoors. With 50 acres to roam, everyone has plenty of outdoor space. Located just north of Auburn along the bike path, you have easy access to town and our world class museums. Just sit back and watch wildlife on the pond or go for a boat ride. We have over 1.5 miles of walking trails to enjoy. Come for a romantic weekend, a weeks vacation, or stay monthly for relocation and business travel. Full kitchens in both guest areas and patio’s with gas grills.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Nice country getaway

Although the accommodation may be considered by some to be somewhat outdated, the appartment is roomy and the welcome by the hosts more than compensates for that!

About the host

Hosted by John Fribley

Host profile image
Designed and built the Lodge in 1998. My father built the lake in the early 1960's. We have planted over 16,000 trees and also have a 20 acre older woods with walking trails around all 50+ acres.

Why they chose this property

Staying at our lake is like being at a private state park. You have great wildlife, hiking trails, bike path along west property line that runs between towns. Very restful. You share the outdoors only with our other guests and us. You have your own space with your own entrance so it is like having your own house to stay in while you are here.

What makes this property unique

**Currently the Pines Cabin is rented out for an Extended Stay. If it becomes available it will become an additional listing. Current guest is on year 5 of stay.
