Spring Shores Lodge is a luxury mountain estate set on a private lake, offering the perfect blend of seclusion and luxury. Featuring 7 bedrooms (3 ensuite king rooms) and 2 spacious bunkrooms, the lodge comfortably sleeps up to 40 guests. Designed for large gatherings, it’s ideal for family reunions, corporate retreats, weddings, or group getaways.

Spring Shores Lodge offers the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion with modern comforts. Because we’re in a semi-remote mountain location, the nearest town and services are several miles away, and help may take a day or more to respond (a little longer on weekends).
Our team is available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, and you’re always welcome to reach out by phone or email after hours or on weekends. While we may not always be able to respond immediately, we’ll do our very best to take care of any needs as quickly as possible so you can relax and enjoy your stay.
