Our group had an amazing weekend at Equani Lodge. The beds were comfortable, the views from the main gathering space and the outside porches were inspiring, and the location was exactly what we needed.

Beautiful views, lots of room, pool table and swimming pool. Recommend for large groups!

We held out micro wedding here and it was everything I could have possibly wanted and more! We invited 27 people and it housed us all perfectly! 10/10 would recommend!

Beautiful location, great layout for large gatherings. Loved the outdoor deck and pool area. I would recommend doing a video walk thru and noting any issues promptly. Make sure you follow the checklist closely after leaving. Maybe even an exit video for your benefit.

It was a big enough house for all & a beautiful place for my son’s wedding

Our immediate family stayed at Equani Lodge and loved it!!! Heated pool was great and the owner’s advice to eat at the Grill at Whispering Woods was spot on. Spent a perfect day on Norfolk Lake too. Will definitely rent this property again!

Exceeded our expectations. As expected with any house, we had a few issues that were taken care of in a timely manner. This house could not be more perfect for a family vacation.

So nice we stayed there twice! This huge home is perfect for active families who love to kick back in the pool, enjoy the marina and the lake nearby, make family style dinners, and play games or relax with a book. The bedrooms are beautiful and comfortable, and the bathrooms are nicer than the ones we have at our own homes!

We stayed here for a family vacation---24 of us aged 1 1/2 through 82. The property offers so much: hiking across from the front door, swimming pool, enough house space for rainy day fun (which we had), bags tournament on the deck, bar fun poolside, and evening card games at the dining room table. One family brought their dirt bikes and ATVs, and they found a place to ride 25 minutes from the house. We also had a lake day and rented two pontoons from Tracy Marina. Another day, we canoed/kayaked on the Buffalo River, which was beautiful and fun! So, as you can see, this location/house offers so much to do on the grounds and in the area. We loved our stay, but I would be remiss if I did not include a few issues. The house needs some upgrades. During a storm, the windows in the front room leaked so much water that we all grabbed bath towels to try and keep it from running onto the floor. Upon further review, the inside wood was rotting, and some ants were found, which means this has been a problem for a while. One of our families had to put a bowl by the window in their bedroom due to a water leak through the window due to the storm. The dishwasher also leaked water, pouring out from the side. The kitchen sink is loose from its base, and a few nuts are missing from the back of the bolts on the balcony. We informed the manager of the issues and hope they get those fixed. So, besides those issues, we had a fun and memorable trip!

Ages 85 to 11 months family from Louisiana, Alabama, Kansas, OklahomaMissouri and Arkansas. Celebrating 85 birthday of great grandfather and four other family members from 55 to 11 months. Perfect place to hang out and chill out for a week. Management very responsive to needs. Scenery was spectacular. Highly recommend.

5 families, 15 kids, 12 adults. We had a great time at this house. Big pool, great view, and all the room we needed. Short drive to the marina to jump in the boats.

This is the second time we have stayed at this home and it does not disappoint. The view is spectacular, it has plenty of rooms for families and friends. Sean the property manager is great. We will be back!

Had family reunion from 4 different states. We had a blast and made wonderful memories 💕 The place is perfect for large groups. There are places to hide if you want alone time or hang with everyone. Few minor hiccups but was handled professionally and efficiently. Thank you for the memories 💕 also we recommend Tracy’s Marina. Rented two pontoon boats. So much fun and very nice to work with.

Our family of 25 loves Equani! I think this is our 6th year to stay here & we've already booked next year! There's plenty of room for indoor activities but we love the outside space. From the decks to the pool it's just beautiful! Plus this year there was a baby deer! Equani doesn't disappoint!

My wife and I hosted our two sons and wives and 8 grandchildren for 6 days at the lodge. The lodge is large, beautiful and very well maintained. The view is a amazing, the pool and grounds are fantastic. I couldn’t be happier with our stay and we will be back next summer!

Beautiful property that had everything we needed! Perfect for a lake wedding venue. Owners communicated very well! The lodge had everything we needed to entertain and plenty of space for everyone.

The Lodge is beautiful and ready to use. Everything was clean and easy to find.

This was one of our greatest winter vacations, so far. Beautiful well maintained house. Exceptional views and great scenery. All of our friends were impressed. The property managers were great in answering all the questions we had in a timely. Thank you for having us.

Such a hidden gem! It’s very unusual to find a property (anywhere) where every single room is luxurious with plenty of bathrooms. Amazing views, a heated pool, friends dinners at the super large table, and late night campfires. Love this place so much, we returned for a second time.

Equani Lodge just made our wedding day everything we could have ever dreamed of!! We had multiple comments on how gorgeous and well-done the venue was. The view was gorgeous, all the details were very well thought out and all high quality. Sean is just simply wonderful. All my wedding party commented on how great he was, but I already knew because of all my past interactions with him that he was fantastic! We booked this venue without actually going to it until months later and the pictures didn’t disappoint! If you are on the fence, let me tell you- you HAVE to visit Equani Lodge! It was large enough for all our out of town guests and wedding party to sleep there as well! They have the perfect bar setup, and amazing porches and seating with a view! We cannot recommend Equani enough and can’t wait to come back for anniversary celebrations!

Overall our stay was very relaxing, the property and view of the lake were beautiful and better than we expected. The caretaker Sean was very responsive when contacted. The bedrooms were roomy and accommodating, the upstairs kitchen was fully equipped, there were four full size refrigerators for ample storage of food and drinks. The only ding was the periodic stained water coming from the well system which they tried to correct and is the only reason I gave 4 stars for cleanliness.

Very spacious and well-maintained home and property. A family of eight spread out through the house upstairs and downstairs. Pool cleaned twice during our week stay. Two kitchens, three fridges in the house and another by the pool. Totally enjoyed our vacation at Equani Lodge.

Equani was absolutely perfect for our wedding. The house and property is beautiful and was the perfect layout for a fun pool-side wedding. We appreciate the communication with the owners and property managers. Some unexpected plumbing issues came up and they worked really hard to resolve them as quickly as possible to make sure it didn’t impact our stay and wedding. I definitely recommend!

Absolutely 1 of the BEST VIEWS of anywhere we’ve stayed!!

Plenty of room for everyone. Lovely pool and loved watching the deer each morning.

We had a total of 14 people and my sister came for 3 days. Plenty of room for everyone! The kids really enjoyed the pool. The small kitchen downstairs is very handy for the ones staying on that level. We very much enjoyed our stay!

We love Equani! This is our 5th year to spend Memorial wkend at Equani with our whole family! This is an amazing house! The house & outside space are just beautiful! You will not be disappointed if you rent this house.

What is there to say about a place that can bring a large family together for a reunion other than Equani was as close to a perfect spot as one could fine. The manager was extremely responsive as well during our stay. There are trails on site, plenty of appliances, endless spaces to sleep along with a feeling of privacy. This is the type of space where all adults can sleep solo without kids and have a number of bunk rooms while leaving space for the occasional young child wandering into their parents room with overflow beds with trundles too. AC was powerful! The bathrooms had leaning storage space which with a large gathering is very helpful. Go further down the road and there is a nice street for walking without cars. George’s Cove is just across the street for boat launching. The White River is nearby. The roads are great for biking as well. If you find yourself reading this review, please just go ahead and find dates that work for your group and stop looking.

We have rented from Hilary twice now a d she is great! The house is wonderful as well.
