Gem of a place, with great people working there.

Went with 6 adults and 6 children. Each couple had their own room with private bathroom. The cousins all slept in the same room together, with bunk beds and their own bathroom. The family room was spacious and the basement offers a place for kids to go and play, giving the adults a chance to relax on their own. Basement offers pool, ping pong, foosball, an entertainment center and dining. The basement also walks out to a great patio with fire pit next to the woods. The deck out back was a wonderful place to grill and relax. The lodge itself could easily, and comfortably, house another 10 people. The lodge sits on 300 acres of wooded land and the topography is diverse and offers plenty of hiking and exploration. It used to be a church campground and many of the buildings remain. The grounds are very well maintained, and there was a fun little pond to take the fishing. The old barn is beautiful. If you are an outdoor family, this place is perfect. Having said that, the lodge has a great indoor space too. If one was inclined, there is river access for canoeing too. The folks running the facility and grounds are top notch. Whenever we needed something we called and they were right on it. They kept the garbage bins outside empty, they brang us ice, and they brought out dry firewood for the pit more than once. They were super friendly folks and gave the kids and adults a couple great tours of the grounds. Mt pleasant is only 20 min away, and makes getting your food for grilling, and whatever else you want easy to access. I plan on coming back, and would not hesitate recommending this tucked away gem to anybody.
