It’s just a quick trip down US Highway 36 to daily essentials in either direction, but you’ll feel as if you’ve landed in a mountain lodge with views of mature oak, maple, hickory and pine from every extended window.
Northern cardinals, tufted titmouse, golden finch, blue jays and more make Lodge at the Summit a bird-lover’s paradise. If you wake up early, you may catch ducks in the pond or deer foraging the forest. If fishing is more your style, feel free to enjoy the complimentary fishing poles and equipment to catch small mouth bass or catfish (if you’re lucky) in the pond out back. We’re catch-and-release only, but Summit Lake State Park is less than five minutes east on Highway 36 where you’ll also find two bait shops with plenty of gifts, gear and things you might need.
