Getaway Lodge is a two-story, log home built to the highest standards of craftsmanship. It is fully air conditioned and heated, and always clean for your arrival. Two large gas fireplaces add to the ambiance. Furnishings are comfortable, but with a degree of rustic charm. Guests are encouraged to make full use of the lodge, grounds and amenities.
The porch wraps around all sides of the lodge, with the most stunning view on the east side where the two-acre lake rests. The front porch is the perfect spot for sipping coffee or wine and viewing a variety of birds that visit the lake and grounds.
The kitchen is fully furnished for cooking and serving a full range of meals. Refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, microwave, coffeemaker and other smaller appliances are available. Guests must bring their own food, though basic condiments are available. There is a large indoor dining table and also porch tables. For outdoor cooking, there is a gas grill, a charcoal grill and a wood-burning outdoor pit.
The lodge has three bedrooms and two full/spacious bathrooms. Linens and towels are provided. The two downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom. One bedroom has a queen-size bed and the other a full-size bed. The extra large upstairs bedroom has a queen-size cedar log bed, a twin-size cedar log bed, a large gas fireplace and its own bathroom with leaded glass window. Both bathrooms feature claw-foot tubs.
There are no showers in the lodge. During warmer months, there is a hot shower in the spacious bath house that may be used. Many guests comment positively about the appeal of showering in privacy while feeling like they are outdoors. The bath house is just a short walk from the lodge.
You'll find stereos, televisions, movies, books and board games to occupy your time. There is no telephone, so you will probably want to bring your cell phone. There is no Internet connection. A professional massage table, washer and dryer are available.
Swimmers and sun lovers will enjoy the lake and above-ground pool all to themselves. There are lakeside chairs and loungers for sunning and relaxing, as well as water floats. The lake also has a dock.
Two full RV hookups are available with 30 amp electric feed, water and septic hookup. Tent camping is permitted. For the convenience of RV and camping guests, a bath house featuring flush toilet, hot shower, sink and washing machine is available 24/7 (mid April through mid October) and located very near the RV hookups.
Guests are encouraged to inquire about bringing ATVs, horses, bikes and golf carts. Special interest groups, including hikers, bikers, Civil War enthusiasts, paintballers, festival goers, antique hunters, model boat and airplane hobbyists, and more, are all welcome.
Getaway Lodge is positioned among the rolling hills of 40 acres. The woods and pastures may be hiked. Walking trails take guests to sections of the property not visible from the lodge. Wildlife is abundant, including many varieties of birds that are attracted to the lake, woods and pastures. Star gazers will be amazed at what they can see on a dark, cloudless night.
A 12-foot wide gate with a combination lock is provided for security and privacy. The driveway is three tenths of a mile long off the country road.
