I absolutely loved staying at this property. It’s the kind of house where everyone can go off and read or think about life without feeling like everyone is on top of everyone else. The dining room is super inviting and because of the rain, we had plenty of trivial pursuit and UNO games. Hosts are outstanding on communication sending texts immediately, and I had one question and picked up my call at once. All the outdoor activities are at your fingertips and staff at the nearby Circle K are so helpful. While I caught no fish, I had a wonderful week and I would wholeheartedly recommend this property and the hosts. 10/10

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lodge in Star Lake. It was big, beautiful, clean, and well-equipped. In short, everything we could have hoped for. The house is very spacious with plenty of rooms for everyone to gather as well as many nooks and crannies to retreat to if you need some quiet time. We hosted my whole family of around 18-20 people one afternoon and we all fit easily and comfortably. Every room has 1 or 2 ceiling fans and plenty of windows, so even on the 80+ degree days it was always comfortable in the house. The bathrooms were lovely with plenty of linens. The beds were all comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very well appointed. The only thing you'll need to bring from home is your food and beverages. The property was also very nice. The fire pit in front of the house seats 10 and is a great gathering spot. Sitting down on the dock was probably our favorite thing to do when we weren't in the water. We used the provided kayaks and paddled out to the sandbar for some afternoon swimming--highly recommended. The stairs down to the water are a good source of exercise, to be sure, but still worth it once you get there--though if you're brining canoes or kayaks with you, you'll want to put them in at the boat launch in town and paddle to the house to avoid hauling them down and up the hill. Thanks for the wonderful week!

The property is full of charm. It is whimsical and eclectic and felt very homey. It suited our large family well. The various spaces throughout the home were all much enjoyed. I've rented several VRBO property's and this had the most well appointed kitchen of any. We cooked big meals everynight and didn't want for any tools, appliances, or dishwear. The lake is very nice. Communication with owner was very good. No complaints, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Lovely home with lots of space to relax and socialize. Highlights of the house were the firepit, lake views, and fully equipped kitchen. Owners surprised us with bottles of champagne for our 60th birthday celebration. They were easy to work with during the booking process as well as while we were there. Star Lake is a hidden gem! It has a small-town feel with very friendly people.

We loved our week on Star Lake. The house is just as described/pictured, with plenty of room for kids and adults alike, both indoors and out. Two of us worked a couple of days from the 'sunroom' which is also a great bedroom (wifi was great). We rented the raft and really enjoyed it, and we also made use of the canoe, kayaks, and fire pit. The view from the large waterfront deck is super, and the large grill/patio area on the other side is really comfy too. The kitchen is very well-equipped for a large group - plenty of dishware and supplies. We liked the little quirks in the house layout, though would suggest the owner add a door to the one upstairs bedroom that was missing one. The home felt private even though there are other homes on this part of the lake. Nearby there's a Dollar General, gas station, coffee shop, and ice cream spot. We had a great hike to a fire tower that started at the Ranger School maybe 15min away. Would suggest bringing most/all of your groceries since the property is in a pleasantly remote area.

We love Star Lake. This beautiful house is located on a quiet part of the lake, just a raft or kayak ride to the sandbar. Deb was wonderful to work with and the property was immaculate. This was our first time at The Lodge and we will be back!

Wonderful

This property provided everything we needed for our comfort and convenience. And many extras. We felt at home there and were extremely pleased with its location on the lake; it was private, quiet, and with a beautiful view. The lake is perfect for paddling and swimming. The property manager was accessible and delightful to work with. It was as a definite “thumbs up” experience for everyone in our party.

We spent a week and could not have enjoyed ourselves more. This is a clean and very well supplied property. Everyhting we could need was at hand.

We found our Gem by the Lake. This Cabin was perfect for me and my family. From the access to the water to finding the exact measuring cup we needed for cooking, this camp had absolutely anything you needed for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation. Th fans in every room and all over the house were a personal favorite of mine. The kitchen had every bowl, knife, plate or accessory you would ever need, so don't worry about packing that. The house was immaculate as well. Make sure you rent the motorised raft as that is a must as we used it every day at the Sandbar! Hoping to rent next year.

We loved our stay here. The house was very well-stocked with everything you could need to move in and start your vacation right away. Each bedroom had plenty of fans and sleeping spaces and there was plenty of room for our group of 9 to have their own space and gather. The view from the porch and the dock was spectacular and the raft was fun. The quiet cove was great for swimming. Amazing lake close to good hikes!

The property managers, Deb and Jim, were awesome throughout the entire process from booking to pre-check in, and check in through our stay. We had so much fun at the property, on the lake, and on the area hiking trails. You need to rent the raft, and at $400/week it’s a great deal. Truly a unique experience that you can’t get anywhere else. This home has everything you need for a nice family getaway. I really can’t say enough about Deb as she went above and beyond to welcome our family.

This property is quaint and well equipped for a large group. Deb, the property manager was available and answered questions quickly. The lake is very nice. The trek down the stairs to the water is long, so make sure to bring everything with you. There was difficulty with a few of the windows upstairs. Also, one overhead light was loose. The upstairs bathroom door does not close completely and that was very disappointing for a bathroom that had been recently redone. The house rules need to be updated and better organized. For example, the price listed in the house rules to rent the raft was $100 less than what we paid (we were asked to pay $100 more). Also, consider charging less for dogs that are only there for 2 nights. The lodge has plenty of life jackets, kayaks, rafts, etc.

This house was perfect for our multi family vacation! The lake is so beautiful and the house was so nice! The house really has everything you need to be comfortable-Wifi, many kitchen gadgets, fans in every room, multiple bathrooms, and spacious bedrooms. We had a great time staying there! We enjoyed kayaking, fishing and swimming. I liked that the water was shallow so the little ones that were with us could swim there too. There is a cute coffee shop not too far that we enjoyed and an ice-cream place too.

We had a lovely time during our weekly stay. The sunsets are amazing from the upper deck. The lake is very peaceful and the home is quite beautiful.
