We loved our stay! There were 33 of us, from 75 to 7, and we had a wonderful time. We loved the new deck and ate on it every meal. We had family gatherings on it in the evenings and even a dance party one night. We would recommend this house to all our friends. Check in and out was super easy and when we had a question about anything, it was answered quickly.

Perfect property for family reunion of all ages

Our whole group loved this property and we had a great time for our family reunion. Before our stay, the host was helpful to quickly answer any questions we had as we prepared to come. While we were there, we had some unforeseen issues that were out of the control of the host but he was quick to help resolve them for us. He was excellent and we would love to come stay again in the future.

Idyllic Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion held at Red Cub Lodge. The venue was as described, with plenty of room for our large group, both inside and out. We particularly enjoyed the spring-fed swimming pool and dual hot tubs. The property manager was communicative and helpful. We will definitely consider staying at this lovely place again in the future.

This has been our very favorite place to bring our family of 50! Amazing accommodations with bedrooms and bathrooms! There is so much to do right there-pool and 4wheeler trails and hike to waterfall. It continually gets better and better every year with the new improvements. The new deck was a huge hit for our dance party and eating and visiting. Air conditioning kept everyone cool and the new huge fridge and freezer was awesome! The host is also hilarious and fantastic! We appreciate everything that we can use in the garage for tools and extension cords too. Best experience yet and affordable. Thank you so much!

Precious Family Time

Our family of 30+ stayed at the property over Labor Day weekend, and our experience was memorable in every good way. The lodge and property more than met our expectations with lots of space to gather inside together, well-stocked kitchen and an abundance of bathrooms, individual space for everyone, beautiful outdoor space for activities of every sort. It was precious family time we'll remember for a long time to come. We hope to make more memories there in the future, too.
