The property was very beautiful, it allowed pets which was fantastic. However there is no way to leave them outside if you wanted to go for a hike or go in to town. Expect tied up on a leash which is not a huge problem. Plenty of space and rooms for large families! The swing out front was a huge hit.

Thank you for your booking and we hope you have a good time and will return soon.

The Hodge Lodge was voted best of all previous vacation rentals by our entire group. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, gorgeous views from large decks. So many comfortable spaces to enjoy! The property is close to hikes, quaint shops and taverns. Pictures dont do it justice!
Nice stay, rained in the afternoon making the swamp cooler ineffective with high humidity. Lower suite had no cooling air except for a portable oscillating fan making the higher temperatures quite warm in the suite. Appliances were dated but the view was outstanding. Forest critters were abundant and enjoyable to watch and admire.
The rental was perfect for our needs to be close to the forest where we were working. Communication with the host was easy. It was a great place to stay.
