Sweet Retreat: Lodge and Event Venue

I can’t say enough great things about this lodge venue! The location is secluded yet is not far from easy access to restaurants, businesses and necessities. The lodge itself is beautiful. It has enough beds for up to 15 people. The fireplace is cozy, the hot tub is relaxing, and the front deck and fire pit areas are a perfect place to converse with a large group. The owner is so kind and down to earth. I would recommend this lodge for friendsgiving, weddings, family reunions, birthdays, or a romantic getaway. And the surround system was perfect for when we watched Super Bowl. Sunday. 
Thank you so much Tama!!

Tama was incredibly helpful and her space is gorgeous. There was nothing we needed she couldn’t provide. She always has a smile and made us feel very comfortable in her home. We will definitely be recommending the venue and will be returning. The space was incredibly clean. The kitchen was large enough to host all of our guests and the warming oven was a lifesaver. There are even two refrigerators to store any food which was also amazing.

I absolutely adore this place! It’s definitely a home away from home. It’s secluded enough to be quiet and peaceful, but it’s close enough to local all the attractions to get out and enjoy. There is a nice fire pit with wood available, a hot tub, grill, entertainment system, scores of books, and even a beautiful outdoor wedding venue! The kitchen is to die for! Honestly there’s no words for how great it really is. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous, and the host is the sweetest lady ever! This place is definitely the spot! I’m coming here as often as I can.
