This lodge is amazing! We had a family of 11 to include adult children and young grandchildren. We all thoroughly enjoyed this place. There's plenty of places to sleep, plenty of counter space in the kitchen, most kitchen necessities to cook big meals. The game room was a hit, the hook and ring game on the deck was a fan favorite! The only thing we would have liked a little different is a larger gathering space for the whole crowd. The living room is smaller so it only accommodated half of us. The game room all the way downstairs wasn't much bigger with not a lot of extra seating. It ended up working out fine for all the moving around everyone did but that would be the only down side. We enjoyed the lodge and the town of Foscoe is great, the produce stand, the breakfast eatery. Well worth the drive!

The host was great. They called ahead of time and provided the lay of the land. It’s snowy and cold up there this weekend, and there was plenty of blankets to keep people warm. There was a large loft which is great if you’re traveling with kids. The game room in the basement has a foosball table which was great. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking meals and a grocery store down the road. We’re looking to stay here again next year as it was a great home for a family vacation.
