We loved our stay at the home! It was perfect for our family with space for everyone. The beds were very comfortable and the setting was gorgeous! Would definitely stay again!
We stayed here for a family trip to celebrate a 70th birthday. The home is beautiful and its location on the lake is perfect. We would definitely return!
What a beautiful home with special features and all the amenities needed. Thank you for the stay and for allowing me to create beautiful memories with my family!
We had a large group and the house accommodated us very comfortably with a lot of fun things to do for the kids! We enjoyed fishing at the dock, playing ping pong and playing piano. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice, quiet retreat! Beds were very comfortable as well! Thanks for a great stay!
The location is stunning with breathtaking views of the lake. The house was perfect for our family gathering. Loved the game room, the master bedroom and bathroom! The only issue is the lack of cell reception. Even with access to the internet and an iPhone you will not have the ability to consistently communicate with anyone outside of the lodge. Highly recommend this place as it was a wonderful home to stay in for twelve nights.
We had a great time making memories with our family. This is our second stay in the same place! Absolutely love it!! Beautiful views and woodwork throughout the home.

We had a great time, we really did not need to reach out to the home owners since we received clear instructions, we appreciate the dog friendly house and are so grateful for the memories we made there! Thank you again for sharing your home!
My husband, our two boys (11 and 13) and I stayed at the property over Christmas. It was a great property for us! The view over the lake was amazing from the awesome living room windows. Our boys loved the pool and ping pong. We enjoyed hours of board game fun in the downstairs game room. Communication with the property managers was excellent and they provided amazing local recommendations. Close to CDA and Hayden but far enough to enjoy the beautiful nature/views at the house.
Wildcat Creek Lodge was fabulous for our family 2023 Thanksgiving!! The house was very accurately portrayed on the VRBO website. It was very clean, great beds, towels, kitchen was well stocked... It has great TV and sound systems, ping pong, piano, hot tub, all exceeded our expectation. We received consistent communication from the Vacation Rental Authority which made checking in and out easy. They even left a turkey roasting pan. We could not have asked for more. We recommend the house and management company.
Fabulous house with high end furnishings and appliances and in suite bedrooms for 3 or 4 couples. Layout provided exceptional space for privacy and to congregate. Great views looking out onto the lake from the large windows and the expansive wrap around deck. Wonderful kitchen with two ovens, microwave, and exceptionally large refrigerator/freezer. Very large lower level level with two bedrooms, family room with ping pong table and large screen TV. Location of laundry room kept noise at a minimum. Drawbacks: Could only get warm water, not hot, in lower level bathroom faucets, shower and bathtub. Smart TV lower level had a frustrating red dot remote that made selecting channels difficult, and no option to use home streaming service (e.g., HULU), although that capability was available on the smaller TV in the Master Bedroom on main floor. Overall: Exceptional location, space, furnishings, and amenities in a house that easily accommodated our 3 adult families. Online pictures don’t do justice to the quality of the house or the views from almost every room of the house. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It has plenty of space and also worked for our son-in-law who is a quadriplegic and in a wheel chair. He just had to use his ramps to get into the house and used a small ramp to get in and out of the shower. The only disappointing thing was that the children could not swim at the house. The lake was very mossy and green and not a good place for swimming, ever from the dock. Everything else was great. Thank you for letting us use your home.

Great House Bad Location
We rented this home because we wanted to be on a lake where we could swim from the house. We paid a higher price for a rental to be on the water. There were limited summer time pictures available for this house on the listing so BEFORE BOOKING I wrote and asked about the swimming off the dock. I was told it was excellent. Turns out it was not. Covered in algae and the DEQ had a warning for cyanobacteria. Hosts said sorry that is so rare. Per the neighbors, happens all the time at that end of the lake where the house is located and is often unsafe to swim. Also no cell service which was not disclosed in listing. We had both ATT and Verizon between us and no one could get cell service. We had WIFI calling out but no one could text us or call us. Again, hosts said they had never heard of such a thing. The hot tub was dirty and cloudy. To their credit, the hosts immediately sent someone over to drain and clean it. The house itself was beautiful and clean with a great layout for a larger group (seven of us). We did see a couple of live mice on the downstairs floor. We weren't too bothered by them so we didn't contact hosts about it as we did not want them to do an extermination in the middle of our vacation. We would not rent this home again because really it is not a usable "lake" house (you can't swim or safely get into the water at this location).
Everything about this property was fabulous. Spacious - comfy beds - game room - peaceful area. We loved it and wished we could study longer. We can’t wait to book it again and come back.
Wonderful place and will go back again. There were a few issues of items that needed attention. I mentioned these to the management people and I believe that they will take care of those issues
