VRBO'S RECENT CHANGES NOW REQUIRE THIS CUMBERSOME EXPERIENCE
We simply need to learn about your gathering to ensure our home will meet your needs.


Please ignore Vrbo's language about no refunds... their system won't remove it. The rental agreement we both will sign will be in force and includes our standard cancellation policy, which we provide upon request -- and always before a payment is submitted. 


A word about our Rates.  Vrbo's format of their Rates section makes it impractical for us to input every possible rate combination for 365 days a year. The rates that Vrbo automatically provides are sometimes incorrect.   We provide exact quotes in our responses. Pricing for the Pontoon Boating Pkg is provided when we respond to inquiries.  An administrative fee of 3% applies to Vrbo reservations as well as the State of Michigan 6% "Use Tax."


From June through late August we are only able to accept 7-night, Sunday to Sunday reservations.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to our 9-BR, 8-BA Woodlands Lodge wheelchair-friendly family retreat with its sandy gentle-slope-beach - surrounded by our private 50 wooded acres with trails - with a commanding view of 177-acre Stone Lake, famous for its fishing and quiet solitude. Five minutes away are the Park Shore and Diamond Lake Public Golf Courses - with many more local attractions in the area.


Please note:
The BR, BA, and sleeping capacity figures include the Woodlands Lodge's Lakefront Log Cabin. The Woodlands Lodge without the log cabin is 8BR/8BA and sleeps 33. The log cabin brings the total to 9BR/8BA and sleeps 35.

This property includes a lakefront lot with a private beach, porch and boat dock reserved for Guests that's a 150-foot stroll from the main house down a path through the trees (the main house is 75 feet and across a quiet dead-end street from the lake.)

**A unique feature of the property is its optional lakeside Log Cabin with a private beach, porch and boat dock reserved for Guests which is just a 150-foot stroll from the main house down a path through the trees (the main house is 75 feet and across a quiet dead-end street from the lake). It makes for a very convenient "pool house" right at the water's edge.





ACCESSIBILITY

A concrete parking pad gently slopes up to the front door to allow one to exit a vehicle on a hard surface and enter the house with zero steps. The following ground floor rooms are wheelchair accessible: LR, DR, Kitchen, Breakfast Nook, Gathering-Game Room, 1st Floor BR-BA Suite in the Guest Quarters Wing with its ADA-compliant full BA with 3x5 roll-in shower. Also both front and rear decks overlooking Stone Lake are wheelchair accessible.



BICYCLES & TRAILS

Included with every reservation are 12 bicycles (mix of child and adult sizes) for our Guests to ride on the trails in the 50 acres of woods -- and through the residential areas of the Village of Cassopolis for those who like to admire the many grand turn-of-the-century homes that are sprinkled throughout. Bring your bike helmets!



PLAYFIELDS

The Woodlands Lodge property also includes access to our two 15,000ft² level, grassy playfields, perfect for throwing a frisbee, tossing a football or baseball around, playing a game of whiffle ball, badminton, volley ball, etc. These two playfields are private, just for Guests of our four lodges on Stone Lake. Also, as of Summer 2023, both playfields feature a "Sports Equipment Shed" filled with frisbees, dodge balls, footballs, tennis balls, wiffle balls, and loads of other fun gear. No need to haul your own toys, just take a short walk to the playfield and let the games begin!



THE LOG CABIN

The lakefront Amish-built western red cedar Log Cabin (optional for an add'l fee Jan. - May and Sept. - Dec.; it is included in the pricing June - August) is part of the property and sits directly on Stone Lake (built April 2009). The 15' x 22' Log Cabin features a full BA, a Kitchenette, a cozy Little Great Room with a soaring 18-foot high cathedral ceiling, a gas fireplace, and a sectional sofa. The Loft overlooks the open great room and has a Queen bed with a memory foam topper -- very comfy. The cabin has a 60-inch ceiling fan, central heat & AC (ductless unit with 2 head units), and a 13 cu ft fridge to keep your beverages cold -- right at the water's edge.




PONTOON BOATING PACKAGE

Most all of our warm-weather Guests enjoy reserving our Pontoon Boat Pkg. It really opens up a whole new world to be able to get out on the lake - the little ones just love playing 'captain' steering the boat -- and it makes for a great mobile swimming platform. Sunsets are glorious and it's so peaceful to be out in the middle of Stone Lake and just slowly drift and watch the waterfowl, birds, etc. And if anyone likes to fish - that's what Stone Lake is famous for! We include (actually require) in the rental of the Pontoon Boat a personal orientation session by a qualified boating instructor so that the Pontoon can be operated safely and with confidence; fuel and life jackets are provided. Included at no add'l cost with the Pontoon Boat Pkg are 7 sit-on-top Kayaks (5 adults, 2 child), plus a 6'x17' floating "Lilly Pad."




For Guests with children who love to vacation with other families, it's a fun, comfortable and unique property.



We're happy to answer any questions you may have so please ask away!

My family of 30 people stayed here and had an absolute blast! The town and lake itself are small, but this place has everything you need! Hiking, games, fire pit, a huge field to play in, private beach, kayaks… the list goes on and on… and plenty of room for everyone! Ted and Brenda were excellent communicators and everything BFF went so smoothly. We loved that my grandmother in a wheelchair was able to be accommodated here as well and did not have to miss out on anything. The lake and sunsets were gorgeous, and only about 45 minutes from Lake Michigan. We do wish the weather had been warmer but that’s the risk you take with September. We highly recommend the Woodlands Lodge and would definitely stay here again.

My extended family of 23 enjoyed a fabulous week at Woodlands Lodge. The house is comfortable, cared for, well equipped and set up to handle a crowd (3 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 2 coffee pots and plenty of inside and outdoor seating for meals). The children loved the play structure, the bicycles and the play field. All of us enjoyed the kayaks, the pontoon boat, the lily pad, the fire pit and the game room. Ted was a communicative and responsive host. We enjoyed our week there so much that we immediately booked for next year. Would definitely recommend (and have recommended) this property to others.

We decided on this location for the fall. The Woodlands lodge was perfect. For the 7 of us. We each had our own bedroom which was wonderful. The lodge was well stocked. I have rented many homes and this was the most well stocked place i have ever rented. Beds were good and comfortable. The weather was not the best so being outside was not an option but it looked like it would have been nice to sit outside. We shopped and did a wine tour instead and that was a lot of fun. This lodge could have easily accommodated a much larger group and still had plenty of room. The owner was great to work with and while we didn't need him, he was but a phone call away if we did. Highly recommend this place.

Our annual family reunion was held at Stone Lake this year . Renting out multiple properties to house everyone, the overall response from the family members were favorable and impressed with the amenities. Quiet setting, beautiful lake, lots to do and the owners (Ted & Brenda) make sure you have an abundance of local information available for your stay. Although the Woodlands property is an older home, the owners have made many new updates, and the property gives you that safe feeling of "home away from home". Thanks Ted and Brenda for your quick responses and addressing any questions that came up during our stay. Looking forward to future visits to Stone Lake!
