Privado, Exclusivo Lodge no Lago Woman, com Belas Vistas

We would like to thank you for taking time to explore the possibilities of Overholser Lodge. Our 7 bedrooms, 6 bathroom private lodge. We also have a pac and play for the baby available and a toddler cot. Completed in 2012, we constructed the lodge as our private family retreat. Once you experience it you'll understand why we want to share it.

Welcome!

Approaching the main entrance you will walk up large cut stone steps to a flagstone patio that leads you to the bluestone portico. In front of you are two large hand carved wooden doors. As you enter our home you will immediately feel engulfed by nature. The elements of wood, metal and stone are used throughout. The log stairs lead to the bridge level which incorporate a metal cutout railing depicting nature scenes with numerous animals hidden for the kids to discover. The great-room is two stories high and has massive log post and trusses. It makes the ideal gathering place. The expansive walls of glass open up the lodge to the impressive views of the main part of Woman Lake.

Accommodations

This exquisite lodge features three private suites all with en suite bathrooms. On the main level is the Master suite, which walks out to the lakeside deck. It includes a romantic gas fireplace and a king size Tempurpedic bed while the en suite bath has a large stone shower and an exquisite all copper bathtub.

On the lower level are the other two bedroom suites with en suite baths. On the lakeside is the Brown Room which walks out to the lower patio and has a queen size timber frame bed. Its bathroom has a vessel sink and glass shower.

Across the hall on the roadside is the Green Room. It has a queen size sleigh bed and its bathroom has a bathtub with shower.

One of the nicest bedrooms in the lodge is the Blue Room up on one end of the bridge level with its own private suite with en suite bath. The bedroom has a cape cod style queen size bed. There is also a fun place for the kids to play in or sleep-out. The bathroom has two sinks and a jetted bathtub with shower. On the other end of the bridge level is our bunk room with 4 sets of bunk beds and two semi private twin beds in cubbies.

On the opposite end of the lower level from the Brown Room and Green Room is the Orange Room roadside bedroom with log furniture.

Across the hall is the Library that you can have private reading time and a murpy bed too. Bring a book to leave so others can enjoy too! Recycling is always a great thing :)

Serving the Orange Room and Library sleeping quarters is the lower level game room bathroom that has a full glass shower and two sinks.

All king, queen and full size beds have pillow top mattresses for the most luxurious sleep you can imagine. All linens and towels (except beach towels so bring your own) are included and there are two sets of full size washers and dryers, one on the bridge level and one on the lower level in the exercise room. You will find an iron and ironing board in the Blue Room and Brown Room.

Areas of Enjoyment!

Back on the main level opposite the great-room is the dining room with its massive custom barnwood table made from recycled wood from two-hundred year old New England barns. Adjoining is the open kitchen that allows interaction with the rest of the family during meal preparation. The appliances are all top-of-line stainless steel such as a five burner Wolf induction cooktop and full-size double convection oven. The Fisher-Paykel dishwasher is two drawer for convenient clean-up. There is a large Jenn-Aire refrigerator/freezer in the kitchen and also a additional full-size refrigerator and full-size freezer in the separate cater's area. On one end of the large kitchen is the coffee, coffee makers and sink. On the other side of the kitchen is the copper farm house sink and in the center is the large granite island with built-in microwave and five stools. Just outside is the grilling deck with a large gas grill for those barbecues. Everything needed to prepare a meal is at hand such as pots, pans, many baking and cooking utensils and of course place settings. We even have spices and starter coffee with filters.

Just off the cater's area is a powder room with a barn-wood cabinet and vessel sink.

There is a wrap around deck covering the entire lakeside that has a nice comfortable seating area for quiet conversation or that relaxing morning cup of coffee. Mornings are our favorite time on the upper deck, just sitting and taking in the peace and solitude. It makes our morning cup of coffee feel like so much more. Step down from the deck onto the bluestone terrace where there are a number of tables and chairs for eating. Here you will be looking for that waiter as if you're at a five star resort.

Back downstairs in the lower level is the Game Room, a wet bar with refrigerator, sink and dishwasher. Next to the bar is an exercise room with a elliptical to keep you in shape. Around the corner from the bar is a two person sauna. The entertainment area takes up the remaining space and includes a gas fireplace, a large 65' LCD 3D TV with satellite receiver, a DVD player and a Xbox 360 game console. There is a pool table, a foosball table and a multi-game video and finally the juke box. Just off the game room is the private library for your reading getaway (leaving books are always welcome). Step outside of the game room onto the outside lower patio and you'll see a hammock and another flagstone patio with a six person hot tub that overlooks the lake for relaxing after a fun filled day. Hot tub is seasonal, May 15-Oct 15. Nearby you'll find a fire pit for those evening gatherings of storytelling and roasted marshmallows.

For extra fun and the best view you'll find a spiral staircase up to the lookout tower. This is the perfect place for some solitude and great views.

Down the breezeway just past the tower stairs you'll find a staircase that will lead you up to the Cinema, an actual eighteen person theater for your private movie enjoyment or business meeting. The 1080p HD projector is supplied by media from a BlueRay DVD player, Satellite TV or AppleTV. There is a wet bar with refrigerator.

The lodge is family friendly with different zones for different activities. You'll find areas to engage in conversation, areas for fun, as well as areas for privacy and relaxation.

For music lovers enjoy the Russound Collage system with ten locations of in-wall music with access to local radio stations.

For those who feel the need for connectivity to the outside world, there is Wi-Fi Internet provided by Starlink with reception from everywhere inside the lodge not to mention almost anywhere on the property including the decks. Its password protected for your personal use.

Lakeside

Although the lodge is a getaway in itself, Women Lake is the real draw and it's just steps away. Walk down the meandering paths and find yourself at a large dock complex. Here there are steps into the water for easy access to swimming or if you prefer, run and jump off the end of the dock! The shoreline is boulder like however the lake bottom is hard sand with small rocks disappearing as you move out. The water depth is less than two feet at the steps and approximately six feet at the end of the dock. There are two benches to sit on and watch the kids swim or the activity of the lake. We have a universal boat lift for renters boat or pontoon to protect our dock system. We don't allow tie ups. This lift can be used, free of charge. (You must let us know ahead of time the make, model, length and motor size before using our universal lift for your own boat or a rental boat.) We can also help you with a pontoon rental from a local marina.

Fall and Winter is a nice and relaxing time at the lodge. Lakeside steps, patios and firepit area is not shoveled.

Our driveway area can hold 6-9 vehicles with another two parking spaces across the road, so no need to park and walk a long way.

If your group needs even more space or a smaller space consider renting our Guest Cabin next door. You'll find it on VRBO under listing number 375696. It's a beautiful log cabin that sleeps 6-8. Rent both locations during the summer and receive a Guest Cabin nightly discount.
