AK Lodge

Place was perfect for our large crowd. Each bedroom having its own bath was great. Plenty of parking. Commercial kitchen worked so well with a large group. Location was nearby dining choices in Windham, an easy drive. Bar setup was a fav along with the pool table. The lodge has been nicely updated but is not brand new so don’t expect perfection, but the place worked so well for us. Sadly, we didn’t get out much to explore as the weather made driving challenging. We have been doing this for 3 years now and the AK was the best fit thus far. Strongly suggest it.

Cozy lodge for our family vacation

We had 17 people stay here for our family vacation and we had a blast! Having a private bathroom for each bedroom was great. We loved looking at the stars from the hot tub. The hosts were super responsive and accommodating. Everything was clean. A lovely stay!

Wedding Weekend

We rented this house for our wedding party and spouses, and it was fantastic. The setup is great and the owners have done a good job doing some updates. Commercial kitchen helps with cooking big meals and the views from the back patio are fantastic. Owner was quick to respond and worked with me quite a bit to make our stay exactly what we needed. Awesome spot!

The perfect house for a group

The house is perfect for a large group of adults (we are a combination of couples and singles). The bedrooms being on a different level from the bar and kitchen were so nice so everyone was able to go to sleep when they wanted without being disturbed by those still awake. Every bedroom having it’s own bathroom is also a huge plus. We had so much fun cooking in the huge kitchen; especially on the flat top, we made some great grilled cheeses, smash burgers, breakfast sandwiches, quesadillas and so much more! The fridge did freeze food like we were warned about, more than just the first shelf though. The house is located just down the street from the mountain, there are local bars in town but we were having so much fun at the house we didn't need to go out. The host was always available and very easy to communicate with. We would definitely rent this house again.

Amazing view

We were having small wedding group only our closest family and friends. The mountain back drop is breath taken. Justyna was kind enough to let us see this place before booked it. We got a lot compliment of this location and how convenience that every rooms have their own bathrooms. However, we wish we could have know before arrive was Jacuzzi was out of service. AC in some of the room had multifunction but we contacted owner and got those AC fixed right the way. Overall, this place is amazing. We definitly plan to come back.

Fulfilled expectation

Due to our misunderstanding we took a while before we understood the check in, we eventually figured it out without contacting the host, it was not the fault of the host, we just did not pay enough attention to the instructions. We were completely satisfied with the mix of private and open space. The kitchen met and surpassed our expectations, the surroundings was scenic and panoramic. The host responded to our questions immediately and was very accessible. All aspects of the facility functioned as expected. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this facility to friends or family.

Fantastic group experience

The space was absolutely perfect for gathering 15 of our closest friends for our wedding weekend. Plenty of room for games as well as spaces for more personal moments. Aside from a couple of minor kitchen issues, the property lived up to all of our expectations and then some. Justyna was responsive throughout the lead-up to the weekend as well. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Always love staying at AK Lodge

Great big lodge with several gathering areas to accommodate the wants/needs of guests, from the dining room to the living room, bar area, billiard room, and balcony. The kitchen is incredible and contains commercial-grade features including the stove, grill, prep station, sinks, refrigerator, and freezer. Another major perk of the AK Lodge is that every bedroom has its own bathroom and shower. This is great and we all very much appreciated that. As with any BNB, there are minor nitpicky things that we didn't care for. They are easily remedied and we are going to give that feedback directly to the lodge owners.

Great space for adult groups

The configuration of the property was great for our group. It has nice common areas along with individual bedrooms and bathrooms. The listing indicates laundry, but we were unable to access the laundry room. There's limited shelf or pantry space in the kitchen - if your group plans to cook a lot (as we did) it can make storage of dry ingredients difficult. One of the bedrooms (with the jacuzzi) is a full sized Murphy bed, not a queen. We had a great time and would return.

Too much money

The communication was excellent you couldn’t ask for better but the refrigerator was broken we lost over $40 in food. It was big enough for all of us but definitely needs work and proper cleaning. The fire pit was a small one which was dented and broke. The outside was horrible…they are working on it but the way it was left was awful. Bags of garbage, etc. There was broken glass in the kitchen and one of the comforters had stains on it. Again it was big and that was what we were looking for we had a large group but I would never stay again. When I told them about the refrigerator no offer to reimburse us for the money in food that we lost. For the money we paid it should have been much better. Very disappointed.
