We enjoyed all of the amenities this home had to offer. The pontoon, fire pit, sandy beach, toys for kids, and tubes for the boat. The interior is gorgeous and nicely appointed.

Family Reunion

We selected this VRBO for a family reunion and glad we did. The first 2 days were cooler so we spent more time inside. The layout and size of this VRBO was prefect.

Lots of space for our group of 20 and excellent common areas for gathering. Large TVs were a huge plus during the Olympics. Yard space to play, right next gradual walk in sandy beach.

Graduation Get Together

We had some family come in from different areas of the country to celebrate a high school graduation. There was plenty of room for all twelve of us (10 adults and 2 teenagers). The accommodations were great. We also rented the pontoon which was in great running order. The host was prompt in responding to any/all questions. Overall, our family had a wonderful visit! I would highly recommend the place.

Beautiful home on clean lake

The lake home is beautiful with the “up north” feel. The lake was nice and quiet with very clear water. The kitchen has everything you need, plus some. There is plenty of space both inside and out. We rented the pontoon and it worked great. Our group had a great time and everyone was impressed with the home.

great water actives

We thought each bedroom would have a bathroom, wrong not that bad but not expecting that, the Lilypad, kayaks and all water related items were super, grand kids loved it. We rented the pontoon, and it was great. Very roomy house very small outside deck. Overall was great for our family.

Great for a Friend Trip

We stayed at Blackwater Lodge for an annual friend trip and it was fantastic! Loved it! Very comfortably slept our group of 9. The cabin itself was very clean and easy to navigate. The spaces to gather were great! It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, I guess. The only regret is not getting more time to fully utilize everything there is to offer with the property!

Awesome work retreat!

We booked this property for a work retreat for our employees. Great amenities and access to the lake. We had a fabulous time! Our only complaint (which isn't a big one-just a heads up for others) is that the property lists that it sleeps 25 people but there are only enough beds for 18. The remaining 7 people have to sleep on air mattresses in the living room. Overall we had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the property and our employees are begging to come back next year!

Amazing place

Love the place! Spent my 5 year cancer free there with my loving family and friends. Owner was fast with response and AMAZING at meeting you half way if you needed something. Property is amazing but needs to fix the kitchen faucets. Water barely came out, so it was hard to clean pots. Overall amazing getaway and all the comments explain everything correctly.. Thank you Sarah for making a beautiful memory for my 5 year cancer free! This will be implanted forever in my heart with friends and family. We will always talk how amazing your cabin is until we get old, thanks again.

Outstanding Reunion

We gathered our children (6 children live in six states from Maryland to California), their partners, and their children (our grands) at the lodge, about 20 of us total. The lodge met our needs perfectly! The kitchen is outstanding, with high end appliances. We prepared and ate all meals in the lodge through our 3 day stay. The common rooms were spacious and comfortable. No one complained about the beds after full days of boating/tubing/skiing/swimming on the lake! The public boat ramp was very convenient by both land and water, which was a nice timesaver. Both Sarah and Jason were extremely responsive and helpful hosts. We would definitely stay here again. The kids and grandkids are already asking when we’re going back!

Beautiful Place!

We had 23 of us, ranging from almost 2 years old to almost 90, and really enjoyed our stay. Overall, it's a beautiful house, yard, and view of the lake. Unexpected pros: lots of water toys and boat toys in the downstairs garage (and most were in great condition), kitchen had lots of appliances and cookware, and the grill was great. We used the pontoon and were very impressed with how well-kept it was, and even pulled a tube behind it a couple of times. For new visitors: there's no ice maker on the property, and the nearby gas station is closed, so make sure you bring your own or bring trays to make it. Other than the outdoor shower not working, everything else—bedrooms, bathrooms, facilities— was really nice and in very good condition. We all recommend it!

Family Vacation

Overall the house was really nice, the property was great and the lake was excellent, perfect size for us. It was very hot and the house cooling wasn’t able to keep up, so I’d take that into account if you're coming in the peak hot months. The theatre room looked really nice, but was unbearable due to the heat, so we really didn’t use it. We did rent the pontoon and it was great. One thing to keep in mind is that they provide a 6 gal tank to refill and its 10-15 min to the nearest gas station. So, if you use a lot of gas you'll be making a lot of trips to fill up, that was a bit of a surprise for us. Other than that it was amazing. The music playing throughout the house and outside was a big plus. They provided fire wood for the fire pit and that was great. The family had a great time. Not sure I would come back due to the cost, but if you can afford it or wanted to splurge I’m sure anyone would enjoy it.

Perfect for Family Gathering

This property was perfect for our family summer vacation. We had 20 people and there was room for everyone. The house was spacious and the multiple sitting rooms allowed us to spread out when we wanted. There is plenty of parking across the road at a shed that is part of the property. The back yard was a great place to play yard games. The little kids enjoyed playing in the sand beach area and all of the kids spent time on the swim raft. We rented the pontoon which was great. We hauled the lilly pad out to the middle of the lake and the kids swam around that. The property is situated on a large bay and it was fun to kayak around the perimeter of the bay. One night the adults went to Northern Lights Casino while the kids stayed behind and watched a movie in the theatre room. There is a newer Weber Genesis grill which worked awesome. I brought a LP burner for a fish fry thinking I'd be able to use the grill's LP tank, but there wasn't one because it uses natural gas. If you plan to bring a blackstone or anything that uses LP be sure to bring your own tank. Although this place isn't cheap, you get what you pay for. This was a great place for our large group. I'd recommend to anyone.
