Getaway
Lodge is a two-story authentic 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 elegance.
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. 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 king-size 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 a very scenic and private 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.

full RV hookups are available with 30 amp electric feed, water and
septic hookup. Tent camping is permitted. For the convenience of
our 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.
