About this property
Huge Lodge in the Woods- Peaceful and private!
This gorgeous 5,000 square feet house built on 5 acres of nature has 8 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 giant open-concept kitchen/dining areas, a fully equipped basement suite, a large playroom upstairs, giant walk-in closets, half-wrap-around porch, a fourth story loft, a deck for large groups, ample parking, and wooded acres and space full of trees and trails. Enjoy coffee or wine on the porch, fires outdoors in the fire pit in the summer and cozy fires in the wood burning stove in the winters. Enjoy letting the kids play upstairs in the huge play area (or downstairs) and loft while the adults have board game tournaments on the main floor. Cook in two kitchens, and enjoy watching movies downstairs. Don't be afraid to make noise (within reason) as the house is surrounded by woods and very private. Walk through the forest in back yard or host a capture the flag game in the field in front.
Room Break-Downs: Main Floor- Bedroom 1: king bed, connected to bathroom Bedroom 2: Queen bed Bedroom 3: Queen bed Common area: 3 couches, one pull out for queen beds Upstairs- Bedroom 4: Queen bed, double mattress/box springs in double walk-in closet, cozy nook Bedroom 5: King bed, two queen mattress in triple walk-in closet, two single mattresses in nook Common area: futon, two couches Bedroom 6: This bedroom is only accessible through the garage. The stairs are a tad steep so it is not advisable for elderly or young children. This is a giant room with a king size bed, couch, and lots of floor space. It's ideal for someone who makes a lot of noise as you cannot hear anything from this bedroom in the main house. It does have it's own heater and air conditioning unit in this bedroom as it's not connected to the rest of the house. So it can get hot in the summer if the window unit air conditioner just turned on. Also, the bathroom is in the main house, so it's a bit of a hike in the middle of the night. Downstairs- Bedroom 7: King bed, queen bed Bedroom 8: Queen bed, crib Common area: 4 couches, a Harry Potter closet under the stairs with a single mattress, kitchen laundry room, storage room. Extra fold up table and chairs are in the storage room and closet.
We can host up to 40 people over night, but there are only conventional beds for 20. Then we have futons, couches, mattresses and box springs, pull-out couches, and mats, etc. for more people. There is plenty of space for everyone and comfy beds/mattresses, but not all in typical beds.)
RULES: -No smoking inside -No Pets -No Drugs -Sheets do NOT need to be stripped as we have a specific system for washing them and confuse sizes when they are together. -Garbage gets brought down to the dumpster along the driveway. -Please keep food out of carpeted rooms and areas. -Please do not take out screens DO NOT GO ON THE ROOF, it's rather steep and not safe. Damage deposit will be forfeited if parties go on the roof! -Close doors! There are too many bugs and wildlife around that can sneak in open doors. -We put a fence on the West side where our property ends with "No Trespassing" signs. This marks the end of our property and the beginning of the neighbors. Please do not go on the neighbors property. Both properties on the West and East have a ponds near their property line and shooting ranges on their land. IT IS NOT SAFE TO GO ON THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. We hate to even put this in because we have tons of space on our own land, complete privacy and 99% of groups respect property lines. We have great neighbors who appreciate their private property and because of a few groups who have not respected this rule, we've asked our neighbors to immediately call the police if people are on their property.
Thanks!

This house was perfect for our youth group winter retreat! The hosts were great and everyone had a great time! Plenty of space for everyone to sleep and hang out!
Excellent communication with host before, during, and after our stay. Great place for our large family to gather (from across the country) to celebrate a major family event!
This was a beautiful, spacious, well maintained house in a beautiful location! We had a large family gathering to celebrate Yule after the rush of Christmas and New Years, and everyone who attended had nothing but positive comments to say about this venue. We especially loved the well-stocked kitchens! Everyone was also impressed with the size of the outdoor spaces. Some stated that it would be nice to return in the summertime to take advantage of those outdoor spaces. There were only a few very minor maintenance details which could be better, but they did not hinder us at all from having a great time. We would not hesitate to recommend this location to others. Kudos to the owners!
This place was great for our annual family vacation. It had plenty of room for our large family. Loved the big deck! Big kitchen which was pretty well stocked. A couple of maintenance issues, but overall a nice stay.
Incredibly spacious, loved the basement, more than enough bedrooms/beds; kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. It was a quick overnight for our group - wasn’t a modern design home, but layout worked well for everyone.

Great place
Plenty of room for everyone and secluded location.
This is a nice home in a quiet neighborhood and was a perfect fit for our family vacation. Checkin and checkout processes were straightforward and smooth. Some areas where it could be even better are providing bath mats in the bathroom and a knife sharpener in the kitchen :) Overall we enjoyed the stay and would definitely consider this if we were looking for a place in this area.
This house was the perfect place for our annual family vacation - lots of space and so many bedrooms for our large family. We enjoyed being able to spread out between bedrooms in basement, main floor and upstairs. Property was very clean and the kids loved having a huge driveway and yard to play in. The large kitchen/living room/dining room area was perfect for cooking most of our own meals and we also used the grill. The kids are already asking if we can stay here again next summer!
This property is absolutely perfect for large groups! We go on a trip every summer with a group of college friends and our 4 growing families, and this is the second time we’ve come to the Green Lodge. We have 8 adults and 14 kids (this year ages 7 months-13 yo) and we all fit comfortably. There is so much indoor and outdoor space for the kids, a huge kitchen, basketball court, big deck, and lots more to keep everyone entertained. Thanks for a great stay!
