About this property

Family-friendly and perfect for large groups and family reunions

Our lodge has 3 stories with a total of 8 bedrooms and 6 full bathrooms. Each floor has its own washer and dryer and big screen TV. Some bedrooms are set up with Queen size beds, King size beds and some with log Bunk style beds. The upper level has a loft overlooking the large kitchen below. We have an additional family room in the (garage) as well as in the basement.

Also have a 3 seasons wet room downstairs that over looks the 3 acre pond. A 3 tier drop down deck that surrounds the entire cabin offering a beautiful panoramic view from sunrise to sunset w/ease of access to the waters edge for great fishing anytime of day. An anchored dock to fish from and an additional floating dock located in the middle of the pond.

Great for kayaks and a paddle boat for those of you that choose to work out those legs. All this beauty rests in the middle of over 3000 acres of woods, corn and soybean fields. Beautiful hiking trail through the woods behind the lodge. The morrell mushrooms are everywhere during the end of April into the first part of May.

All of our creeks are loaded with geodes of every shape and size for those, that enjoy outdoor activities . We also have a fire pit (firewood available )for late night camp fires or roasting hot dogs and marshmallows near the waters edge.

So between the swimming, fishing, hiking, geode hunting, mushroom hunting, paddle boat, kayaks, Mt. biking, scenic drives, bird watching, wildlife viewing, campfires, horse shoes, and still being with in 15 minutes of town, I'm sure you will have no problem enjoying yourself to the fullest and relaxing at our beautiful Bradshaw Lodge LLC.

Family Vacation

This was a home away from home for us. With our family having different activities in our lives, the lodge allowed everyone to come and go as they needed to. This was our 5th year coming here because of it being a central location, it's cleanliness, and having activities available. The family loves the kitchen and it's appliances and cooler!

Family Reunion

The property was perfect for our family reunion. Plenty of bedroom space. The kitchen was a little small for the size of our group, but everything we needed was there. The large sitting room was perfect for our family and we played lots of games on the tables. Not sure if we will come back to the area, but if we do we would love to come back here!

Awesome venue for large group fun!!!

We needed a large place for a college reunion - multiple families with kids of all ages. This place delivered! Plenty of beds, lounge space, clean, secluded and tons of fun for everyone - kids and adults. The kids only got out of the lake for rain and the adults had plenty of space to chat, relax, and/or play games. Thanks for the memories!!!

Wonderful Labor Day!

This lodge was perfect for our group! Plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved swimming, using the kayaks, and fishing. The yard was great for yard games too! The adults loved sitting on the large deck and visiting while still being able to watch the kids play. At night the stars were beautiful and we even saw some shooting stars too! Stacey was wonderful to work with. Great time making wonderful memories.

Wonderful Stay for a Multi-Family Getaway

We stayed at this cabin with a group of five families, and it was the perfect setting for a relaxing and fun-filled getaway. The cabin itself was spacious, with large common areas that made it easy for all of us to gather, share meals, and spend quality time together without ever feeling cramped.The outdoor space was a highlight—there’s a beautiful pond with paddle boats that the kids (and adults!) absolutely loved. The open grassy area was ideal for games, running around, or just lounging in the sun. It felt like we had our own private retreat in nature.The cabin was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable for a group of our size. The layout worked great for multiple families, with enough room for both privacy and togetherness.Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a peaceful and family-friendly place to stay with a large group. We’re already talking about coming back next year!

Lots of green space and house had lots of room for 29 of us It was our annual family get together. The main issue was the pond. It was not fit to swim in. Which was a big disappointment

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Jan, 2024
Barbara, we enjoyed your group. We are sorry that you did not find the pond to your liking. This 2023 season was very dry which lead to an increase in algey blooms, that may have made it unpleasant for swimming. Mother Nature has control over that. We do have some measures in place that we hope will remedy further issues. Thank you for staying with us and we will hope to see you back sometime in the future.

Getaway gathering

The host Stacey was very prompt and effecient to communicate with. Our access to the property was a bit of a hiccup. A grain machine nearly had the driveway blocked to get onto the property. Once there, we had to communicate with the host to get into the house as the door was not unlocked like we had discussed the day before. Again, she was prompt to resolve the situation. The house was very accommodating and had great amenities. The outdoor spaces were very nice. We loved the primitive firepit with stocked wood! This place is huge and could hold a lot of people! Beautiful place to get away from city life!

Things that need attention.

The hot tub needs repair. A light in the first floor bedroom was flickering. There were bugs in the king bedroom that annoyed the guest staying there. You need better storage for life jackets, paddles, etc. There need to be directions on how to operate the TV's and what channels are available. You need a sign at the entrance so it is easier to identify. Overall a good property, just more attention to detail.

Great place for large family! Gracious and helpful hostess!

The lodge is spacious, nicely furnished, good services (air co., hot water, walk-in fridge, dish washer, beds, kitchen utensils, etc.) and roomy for our 30 family members from infants to grand-parents. The pond has some surface growth, but it didn't hinder us from fishing, boating, and swimming. Only downers - the roads and flies are horrible!

Our large family throughly enjoyed a 4 nights stay. The accomodations were way beyond our expectations. We enjoyed the pond, for fishing and swimming along with the kyacks, paddleboats and the floating dock . The location was nice and quiet until we arrived. :) Enjoyed the wildlife, the nature trails and just special quality time with our families who came from PA - KS. A great central meeting place.

Overall a great place to getaway

A group of friends spent the weekend together at this large and comfortable lodge. There is plenty of space and the first and second floors are clean and comfortable. Guests loved the beds and the many bathrooms. Guests also raved about the beautiful property, from the pond to the hiking trails. While this lodge is clearly worthy of a five star review, I will say the check in process felt more like a bunch of warnings instead of a friendly welcome. I understand the need to establish some ground rules, but during the walk through it felt like we, the adult paying guests in our mid thirties, we’re being seen as more of a liability than mature adult guests who simply wanted to enjoy each other’s company. It wasn’t the best way to set the tone for the weekend. Regardless the owners do a great job of having many accessories and staying in touch via phone. I would recommend this lodge to all large groups.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Burnett

Host profile image
I am Eric Bradshaw. I was born and raised here in the Griggsville area. This property has been apart of my family for many years as well the lodge was my home at one time. I shared my home with friends and family for special events, family reunions, community fundraisers and weddings..... My family and I now live just off site and I am only a phone call away. I enjoy working on the farm and am a strong supporter of most things Agriculturally related. My family lives here in the immediate area and I am very active in the local community. I cherish the many memories and family traditions I have made here at the lodge as my home, now I have a chance to share it with you and hear of your families wonderful traditions .

Why they chose this property

What better place to make childhood memories, reconnect with family, and have an adventure all in one spot.
We are centrally located in the USA in Americas Heartland between the Mighty Mississippi River and the Illinois River. We believe that this is the perfect place for your rustic get away, with plenty of opportunity for a kid to be a kid and for mom, dad, and Grandparents and extended family to relax and enjoy.

What makes this property unique

We speak to all of our guests at the time of your reservation. We want you to have the confidence of knowing what to expect before you arrive. Even though we have provided some pictures and a brief description of our property , sometimes this just doesn't quite answer all the questions. We feel that a one on one conversation is the best way to ease your mind and to get to know one another.
The lodges manager Stacey is available by phone or text M-F 217-440-9586 to answer your questions.
