The house was perfect for a Christmas family gathering of 12 people. It was clean and everything we needed we found in the house. The Christmas decorations were well done. The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Very peaceful.

The perfect getaway! Very accommodating for large groups - very spacious and never felt crowded. The cabin was stocked with all the amenities we could ask for. The area was peaceful and beautiful and we appreciated having firewood available for the firepit! Absolutely plan on staying here again!

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
