Are stay was excellent.The weather was outstanding.The location was perfect.The log home head excellent porches.Large kitchen, large living room, anything and everything you could possibly want.Thank you so much
Home is beautifully decorated and stocked with all items needed. Beds slept very well.Location perfect. As a law enforcement family we have few times where all can come together and unplug as a family. This home exceeded our expectation and we all had a relaxing time.
Firstly, the Owners were very responsive which was fantastic! Communication was spot on before and during our family stay. We let them know right away things that we found broken and they offered solutions. The house is beautiful and it was pretty clean. The kitchen was spacious and it was plenty room for our group of 9. The wrap around porch was lovely with an amazing amount of seating. We only saw 2 deer while there and no other wildlife. The game room downstairs was a bit of a letdown. All the pool sticks were unusable and most were broken, which led to some unhappy kids since that was a selling point for their entertainment. There was also only one video game of PacMan. We spent a lot of time playing Guess Who since the other games were a lot of puzzles. Not really kid friendly.The pond out back was pretty to look at. I had let the owner know beforehand that I had older people in my property and the pictures made it look like the pond was easily accessible. It wasnât. No steps or walkway down, just a step incline that was not in any way accessible for my older parents. We had to end up loading the car and driving around to the other side, parking on the grass and still having to help them walk down to it. The ponds gazebo was a lot older and the little fishing dock was shaky and my dad was worried about it potentially breaking. That whole area could use an upgrade. The pictures were a bit deceiving there.Beautiful, but wouldnât stay again.
This could not have been more perfect for our family getaway. The gated wrap-around porch was great for our little ones to run. Our grandson caught a huge fish in the pond. All the sitting areas inside and out let us enjoy being together, while offering quiet spaces as needed. Weâll be back!
Awesome mountain cabin with pond for fishing, excellently stocked kitchen and cool game room. Plenty of spaces to spread out and enjoy nature. Clean and cozy!
This home had room for our children and grandchildren. The wraparound porch was amazing, the views were stunning, the July air was cool and refreshing. The house was immaculate when we arrived and had everything we needed, even a high chair! There was plenty of adventure nearby, but we mostly enjoyed being together in this home.
Magical holiday weekend. Beautiful and comfortable home decorated for Christmas. Lovely walking trail, deer, gorgeous views. Short trip to West Jefferson which was like a Hallmark movie. Easy check in. Home is as described, everone said their beds were comfy.
Enjoyed by all!
We left a hatchet down by the fire pit. Did you find it and could I pay to have you ship it to me? It has some sentimental value to the owner, otherwise I would not ask.
We where here for 3 days with extended family to attend a wedding locally. Our host was prompt in responding to all of our questions and inquiries before arrival. Our party consisted of 6 adults and 4 children. With children ranging in age from 3 to 16, there was plenty to keep their attention, from the game room to toys, puzzles, and fishing in the picturesque pond with fountain behind the house. The kitchen was well equipped for the large meals we prepared, and there was ample seating for additional guests we had over during our stay. All of the bedrooms were large and comfortable. The outdoors around the property was lovely for strolling or going on an extended hike along the horse trail and stream that extends far behind the property. House is in a gated community about 25-30 minutes from Sparta. Recommend doing grocery shopping before arrival. We rate our experience here as exceptional, and would not hesitate to recommend!
This is a perfect property for a large group. There are lots of beds and the kitchen has an amazing quantity of dishes and flatwear as well as pots and pans, the house is beautiful with lovely views. The owner is very responsive. There are lots of places to go nearby.
Just returned from a third fabulous stay here. The home is spacious, clean, and outfitted for a relaxing vacation. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
What an amazing vacation for our family! We enjoyed this beautiful home & property so much & can't recommend it enough. It was so spacious, yet so cozy. The home was super clean & just had so many unique touches. Lots of seating in the kitchen & family room. Large bedrooms & bathrooms. Large, well-equipped kitchen (& a grill on the deck!). We enjoyed fishing in the pond, walking the trails, smores at the fire pit, fun competition in the game room, & just hanging out on the porch. Our family enjoyed this home more than any we have ever stayed in & we made so many wonderful memories. Tana was a wonderful host and was so responsive to our questions. Running Doe Lodge will likely be an annual tradition now for our family.
We've stayed at this property 5 times now. First 4 times with previous owner and once with new owners. We love being away from normal life stress. This place is extremely remote and in beautiful area. Very happy with the little updates and changes. Hope to visit again. Wish bob (Giant catfish) was still in pond. This is first time we havent seem him. Plenty of fish and turtles in the pond. We spent most of the week relaxing fishing the pond with a competition on who would catch the most.
This cabin is one of a kind. Three floors where each of my two sons had their family and my wife and I on main level. Very clean and accommodating. Nice fish pond where we caught and released many fish. Had nightly fire in fire pit. Took my golf cart and the grandkids enjoyed the evening rides throughout the community seeing many deer. No close neighbors. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing, yet adventurous vacation.
