2025 Trip

Property was perfect for our family/friends side by side trip. There was so much to do at the property! (swim, fish, kayak, paddle board, canoe, game room, and hot tub) Trails were really close by and made for great time riding the rigs everyday. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Great weekend with ample space!

We enjoyed our visit at Matson Lake Lodge! A group of 14 gals all had plenty of space to spread out, eat and play games together. We put the hot tub and fire pit to good use, and the property had plenty of space for yard games which we appreciated. The property is secluded and quiet, which was lovely. We would definitely be back!

It was a great place with plenty of beds for a tame weekend bachelor party!

It was peaceful and quiet out in the woods, plenty of bedding options to choose from and enough tvs to keep most people entertained. A hot tub and bar areas really help you settle as well and the upstairs has plenty of space for almost any kind of game.

Great place with a lot of space

Tranquil environment with total privacy to take it all in. Very large home with two kitchens and lots of room to spread out. Outdoor seating areas and porches are extensive and will make many memories!
