The Grande Lodge- Riverfront, Fiber, HotTub, Fish, DogOK, Game Room, Movie Room

JUST COMPLETED: The Riverside Grande Lodge is a large, lovely cabin offering a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy along scenic Mountaintown Creek. Sitting just off the river's edge, Guests feel like they are floating in the river with a huge level grass area! With spaces to escape throughout the cabin, each Guest will feel like they are on their own holiday. Enjoy geese, deer, river otters, Blue Heron. Cool off with a swim or a tube in the river from the beautiful sand beach. Enjoy!

Enjoy all this from a five-star cabin that includes details such as professional hair care products, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with 3/4 Ping Pong and Foosball, a movie room with a 65" Smart TV, Sound Bar, DVD/Blu-ray player, three fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Bull Frog Hot Tub with lounge seat, 3 king masters including 2 with balconies overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idyllic setting.

Note the game room on the top level includes a twin size daybed with a trundle underneath serving as a 6th bedroom.

PETS- While we do allow a pet, we only allow one dog that is 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night with a $70 minimum charge per stay.

You will enjoy access to the entire home and nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own two additional lots and three adjacent homes. This includes a large grass area with a horseshoe court!

Note that our base rate is for 6 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest up to 12 total Guests or an additional $90 per night for a full house. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties.

We offer Fiber Internet allowing speeds that will keep all guests connected and happy!

Please note that while access to the cabin is generally easy(we drive a Hyundai Sonota Hybrid), the last ~1/3 of a mile is on a community maintained gravel road. Parking is off-street and there are just a few stairs to enter the cabin.

Any reservations made within 48 hours of the arrival date will be subject to a $25 priority processing fee that is required by our security department.

We will be available to help at any time during your stay. We have lived in the area for years and are happy to help in any way we can. From restaurants to activities, our Welcome Book which will be provided covers many details of the area.

Amazing Cabin!
This cabin was amazing! Has everything ready for your stay. Veey clean and everything is up to date. Location is perfect next to a beautiful clean creek with plenty of trout to see. There is an automatic fish feeder on the creek that goes off couple of times a day where you can see plenty of trout. We’ve been to a lot cabins and by far this was our favorite spot. The owner is very nice and communication was great. We are definitely going back in the summer time.

Great house and location!
This is an amazing property that has everything you will need for your stay. We didn’t have the best weather for fishing, but still enjoyed the very peaceful river. The owner is very helpful and responds quickly to your questions. We liked it so much that we are planning on coming back next year.

Amazing rental
This was easily the best VRBO we have rented. The property was beautiful and the pictures really don't do the riverfront justice. The house was well stocked with necessities and the owner has clearly put a lot of time into their handbook and website which made the entire interaction feel very professional compared to many rentals. The owner was also very responsive throughout the trip, and even had an apple pie waiting on us! Would definitely return.

Great family getaway
This house was great and Brad had everything on hand that you could need. Little things like extra paper towels, dish soap, coffee, etc. made the stay very convenient. Our family really enjoyed the wildlife. We caught fish in the creek and saw otters. But, we also had many deer come to visit throughout our stay and saw tons throughout the neighborhood. Overall it was a great vacation.

The Perfect Retreat!
If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the tranquil location to the well thought out details, this home had it all! When we arrived we were greeted by a local apple pie as a gift from the owners. From there, all of the details were noted; keurigs and hair dryers in every room/bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen with all of the amenities you could need, plenty of plates, bowls and glassware for 8 people. The best part of our stay involved our daily enjoyment of the river. We jumped in and floated every day. The location was great as it was secluded and away from the hustle and bustle. However, if you want to run into downtown or to the local Wal-mart, it’s a quick 15 minute drive. The owner, Brad, has created an incredible manual that literally notes everything, including suggested things to do in the local area. He was also quick to respond within 5-10 minutes for anything pre, during or post trip! Overall, this is a fantastic property and we hope to stay here again!

Perfect River House Retreat
Brad is an amazing Host. The house was great, right on the river. Being able to hear the river from the house made it even more relaxing. Great access for fishing, great outdoor areas for hanging out, great kitchen with an amazing view. Amazing spot for watching the sun set and the moon rise. Definitely keeping this spot on the list for possible future trips. We didn’t bring our kids but had we the house is very nicely stocked and set up for hosting guests with children as well.
