Property was beautiful. Appreciated the baby gates. Hard to find...details on finding the driveway would have been helpful as gps was incorrect.

House was designed for a fun rustic country feel while being fully equipped and comfortable. The main level with kitchen and one bedroom is accessible without stairs, the other bedrooms require stairs.
Only suggestion: please provide a couple ice cube trays.

Our adult children and their families joined us for a long family weekend at Antler Hill, and we had a great time! The kitchen is well supplied and functional, and the open great room made 15 of us eating together enjoyable. The pond with fishing and kayaking was a hit for the parents and kids. My husband and I kayaked for the first time:-) We spent a day at the beach at nearby Lake Anita, and swimming with littles was perfect. AC kept us cool in the hot weather but kind of noisy. In spite of the hot weather, we still got a quick bonfire in and roasted marshmallows. Thanks for a memorable family time in your unique and beautiful lodge in a lovely location.

The process was easy. Communication was good. The price was reasonable. Pretty much we found upon arrival what we were expecting.

We had our children and grandchildren and my 2 brothers and families stayed at the adjoining cabin. It was a beautiful setting on either property deck with the pond and kayaks as a bonus. We enjoyed a fire pit at both places and plenty of space to have dinner together every night (15 and 6)

Bachelor Party
The cabin was perfect for our group of 12. The fishing and kayaking on the pond was better than we could ask for. As for the cabin, the pictures do not do justice. The cabin was huge, with plenty of seating. The detail and woodwork inside and outside of the cabin was absolutely gorgeous. Cathy was also great. Any question that we asked was promptly responded to. We are already planning another trip here for next year.

Family time for dad's 80th birthday
We loved the cabin. Lots of space for everyone. Very rustic and peaceful. We did a lot of fishing and caught many different fish. It was very windy the whole time we were there but we still found things to do. Would love to come back

Quiet
Nice place for a family, not fancy but quiet and big enough for a larger group.

Great views!
The location and cabin is great. There wasn't any communication on how to check in or what was needed to check out which was inconvenient. Also, the dock and kayaks are across the lake, and no instructions on how to get there, so we drove over a mowed path. I thought this stuff would be in the backyard of the cabin to still be able to participate from the deck of the cabin but that's not the case. The pond is also muddy, not great for littles or swimming. There is Lake Anita near by though which was great.

Family getaway
The view was amazing. Pond was amazing. Lodge was amazing. Everything was great. Just be aware of the high back dining chairs. Everyone kept bumping their arms on it and it hurted! My family couldn't find the exact location because the turn to the lodge was a little hidden by corn field. Would definitely help if there was some sort of sign. Overall, it was a great weekend and beautiful cabin.

Wonderful place for a family retreat
This cabin is as warm and inviting as they come. Nice and quiet. Plenty of room to gather as a family and plenty of room to roam if you need a little exercise or hiking. It could not have been nicer.

Beautiful getaway for big groups!
This property was the perfect spot for our college friend reunion that included 5 different families with young kids. It was wonderful to have spacious rooms on the various levels of the house - we never felt overcrowded or on top of each other. We enjoyed the large porch and yard that gave a good amount of variety to the space we could use and the activities for the families and kids. We appreciated Kathie stopping by the house to make sure everything was good and the communication during our visit with questions. I would highly recommend this property!

Room for everyone!
It was great that there were enough beds for 18 of us. The kids had a great time kayaking I the pond. Cookware in the kitchen was a joke, must have come from grandma's garage sale. Not adequate to cook for 18 people! Small frying pans, an electric skillet and/or a griddle would be nice. Good thing we brought one and a grill because the one there is small and disgusting. Not as clean as expected; dusty, bugs in the cookware and dirty linens left in the downstairs bedroom under the laundry shoot. A cigarette butt under the sofa cushion and an empty beer can downstairs under the couch. Had to use my garbage bags til more were supplied and it was suggested we reuse towels, not at that price!!

Annual family gathering
Overall this was perfect for our annual family gathering. There was plenty of sleeping spaces and the common spaces were also comfortable. My nieces and nephews didn’t want to leave. The outdoor chairs and porch were nice and the view was amazing. The fire pit area was especially awesome.

Girls Trip
We had a great stay at Kathie's cabin in Anita! Plenty of beds. Lake Anita State Park just a minute away was a great perk, too. Would recommend to others!

Nice place to stay
The view is very nice. I was little bit disappointed that i had to sweep and mop the floors when we got there but over all it was a nice place to stay. We all had a bed to sleep in, which was very nice. Everyone enjoyed the fireplaces too. The décor was a little different, but I'm sure someone else would like it as we all have different tastes in life. We chose not to use the dish washer as there isn't a garbage disposal and it had a film on the inside. Kathie did check in on us to see if everything was ok. That was a nice gester.

Family Reunion and 60th wedding anniversary celebration
My immediate family didn't stay overnight at the lodge but my sisters families did. We all spent most of our time there during the day. The kitchen area was well furnished. Crestwood Hills Golf Course is close so we had a family tournament. We loved sitting on the deck overlooking the beautiful pond. The grandsons loved exploring in the kayaks. The fire pit was a big hit too. One family member was heard commenting they couldn't believe they were in Iowa!

Beautiful scenery and plenty of room for our group (13 people)
Overall, great place to stay for a large group. Plenty of room (rooms and bedrooms) and the scenery was great to sit on the deck for entertaining. Kathie was very pleasant and easy to work with (we needed to check in early and leave later than normal due to flights/travel schedules). Some suggestions to consider is that the electrical can be tricky at times (we were warned by Kathie) even though we were careful not to plug in too many appliances within a room like the kitchen. Nonetheless, the circuit got tripped in the upstairs bathroom (we had to shower in the dark) and the kitchen (dishwasher). Everytime a circuit got tripped, we had to call Kathie since we didn't have access to the circuit breaker box. Finally, there is no laundry facility onsite. This wasn't in the listing, so if you read the listing carefully, it won't have it. We just missed that on the list and assumed there would be laundry facilities (so we started running out of clothes). Finally, it was a little difficult to find. There are no signs on the road (i.e. address of otherwise) and everyone of us got lost the first time trying to locate the lodge.
The driveway winds around the corner behind trees so the lodge isn't visible from the road. Even the locals who lived in the area had a difficult time locating the lodge.
Otherwise, a very pleasant experience.

A large lodge with a great view!
Overall, we had a pretty good stay at Antler Hill Lodge.
Pros:
+ Amazing views over the pond and countryside of Iowa. The deck is great for watching sunrises
+ Everything we expected was provided: linens, towels, cookware (although limited), campfire and grill equipment
+ Large place with several bedrooms and many beds
+ A lot of the building was made of exposed wood
Cons:
- Some of the beds were uncomfortable
- The circuit breakers for the electrical sockets in the fridge were tripped by the electric skillet provided (many times!). The kitchen electrical setup needs updated
- The owners were difficult to communicate with and not very accommodating when we needed help with the electrical issue
- Some of the furniture is dated.
