Good to know

Cabin with newer addition that doubles the living space. 4 of the 6 bedrooms/sleeping spaces are on the second floor and require stairs to access. The front drive offers parking for a max of 6 vehicles; from the front drive to the front door there is 6 wide steps down. The double cabin sits on steep, rocky/wooded land. Gravel paths connect the fire pit area to the driveway and down to the lake. Lake is also accessible via deck steps from the house. This property is perfect for families vacationing or celebrating the holidays together. The lodge sits in a quiet, private neighborhood where friendly neighbors value respect, peace and quiet. We have a zero tolerance policy for parties. Quiet hours must be respected, 11pm-7am. The lake water level will vary throughout the year. The Corp of Engineers (COE) controls the water level and lowers the water level every winter to a “winter pool” and then slowly raises it starting in April to the Summer level. Summer pool is from Memorial Day-October 15th.

Great place for a getaway. We went for a girls weekend trip and it was perfect. Appreciate a good host and well thought out space. Had everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend.

Such a beautiful home in such a beautiful setting! The house had everything you could need and more of what you didn’t know you needed. Abby and Jarod were very quick to respond when we couldn’t find something or ran out of something with quick and easy solutions. We lost track of the concept of time swimming and kayaking on the lake and observing some beautiful wildlife. It was so quiet and peaceful, yet exciting enough for the teenagers with us to have an incredible time. All of us, including our very big, athletic, high energy dogs were so worn out by the end of the day. I expected us all to wake up every morning with aches and pains due to the high activity and sleeping in beds different from our own, but instead, we all woke up refreshed and ready to for another exciting day. I couldn’t recommend this incredible home more and as soon as I’m done writing this, I’m booking another stay. Thank you so much Abby and Jarrod!

Our group retreat at Lake Forest Lodge was amazing! 🌿✨ The cabin was spacious, beautifully maintained, and had so many thoughtful details. We loved how convenient it was to do all of our activities right by the lake and around the property. The location was peaceful, private, and perfect for gathering as a community. The host was responsive and made everything so easy. Highly recommend this space for groups, retreats, or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! 💛

We had an amazing stay at this lake house! This was hands down the best stocked Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. My friends and I love to cook, and the kitchen had literally every single tool, utensil, and supply we could possibly need. On top of that, the house was stocked with thoughtful extras like sunscreen, bug spray, and other amenities you don’t usually expect—truly above and beyond. The layout was perfect for a group stay. There was a large central gathering space connected to the kitchen where we could all hang out together, but also plenty of separate areas like the game room, an additional living room, and multiple porches for when anyone wanted some quiet time. The number of beds made it easy for everyone to get a comfortable night’s sleep, which we really appreciated. We also loved the outdoor amenities—having access to the lily pad and kayaks was such a fun bonus and made our lake time even better. Overall, this home was spacious, incredibly well thought out, and made our
