Family Fall Retreat
What a lovely, well equipped home. So quiet and restful with a short walk to the beach. We made great use of the pool and ping pong tables with a friendly competition complete with nick names. Losers bracket competed in giant Jinga. Evenings featured boards games from the large sectional on the lower level as kids slept above. Such a quiet home.

Love staying at the Lodge
Our family of 11 adults enjoy staying at the Lodge. Plenty of room and beds for all. The parking is a plus for us. Three classic cars for the Cruise around the Lake, plus a truck with a boat and several cars for everyone to come. We really enjoy the space and watching the deer and turkeys is fun. Its very clean with everything you made need. This was our second stay there and coming back next year. Judy R.

Beautiful house and property! Very clean and lots of room for us all! We all enjoyed seeing the deer and wild turkeys and walking the trails in the woods. We also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table and played a family softball game in the backyard! Grilled and cooked meals and it is very well stocked. We will come back! We all had a great time from age 7-68 years old!

Amazing!!
Our time at The Lodge Home made our Family Reunion at Clear Lake even more fun! The house is super clean, beautiful, spacious, and the host great to work with. We enjoyed the pool and ping pong tables in the downstairs - it's like a separate home downstairs!! The beds were very comfortable. We loved sitting in the front room and going out on the deck to watch the deer. We are appreciative for our wonderful stay and would stay there again if we are back in Clear Lake.

Family Christmas
Our family loved the size of the house and it was very clean. The scenery was wonderful. We loved seeing deer and turkey every day. there are really only 5 bedrooms, the 6th is a room in the basement with no windows. We were ok with that but others should know incase they aren't. and the place needed some minor maintenance including a new grill and wish the fireplace would have worked but still a place we may stay again.
