We had a great stay! The Lodge is very well equipped with everything you need. There is plenty of space to spread out. There is a downstairs living room, an upstairs living room, and a play room. Everything was very clean. The only con was the water pressure is not very good, but there is nothing else to complain about. We will be back!

Stayed at this cabin for a group motorcycle trip. The house is beautiful and clean, with plenty of beds/bedrooms for multiple to stay and sleep. The property is scenic, and accessed by a gravel road. The hill leading up to the access road is quite steep with speed humps so bikers beware. The host was very responsive and provided turn by turn directions as GPS does not lead you to the house. She also provided a list of grocery stores in the area, which was helpful. I would definitely stay here again

The Lodge
The house was perfect for our group. We had ages 8-88. The kids loved the game room and the elders so loved watching them. We bought apples and carrots so we could feed the animals everyday. The kids named them all and were so sad to leave them. We enjoyed our time at the Lodge. You will too

Mountain Family Retreat
Hawthorn Haven was a great place to stay with family! We came here for a wedding and spent a week. There was plenty of space for 4 families to spread out and have their own space. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The gameroom was a big hit. Drawbacks…the foosball table just needs replaced. And a broom for cleaning up our messes would be great. There may have been one here, but we couldn’t find it. It was a wonderful place! We would highly recommend!
