Awesome location near Rocker B - baseball teams
Our team really loved our time at the ranch - heads up to everyone though. The long gravel road into the ranch (over 4 miles of county roads) has several winding turns, isn’t properly lit at night and doesn’t have any road signs to indicate some potentially hazardous conditions. One of the parents had a nasty car wreck and his car was totaled at a small bridge location about 1/4 of the way to the ranch on the gravel road. I want to be clear that this isn’t the fault of the ranch - the county should really alert drivers to this danger. Oh - lots of wild animals on the roads as well - we almost hit two wild boars. Be Safe!!! The ranch was absolutely perfect for our weekend baseball event.

Perfect Family Reunion Spot
We had a great experience for our family reunion at the lodge. The whole family was able to enjoy the lake from youngest to oldest. The fishing was great and we had a blast swimming, kayaking and using the peddle boat.

We were able to get a tour of the entire property and everything was so thought out and beautiful and well made. We had the absolute best time. I don't think the kids were out of the water the whole weekend. There was so much to do and yet so much rest we were able to get. We are definitely going to book again.

Another great reunion at the ranch!
We love this property. It has everything we need. It holds lots of people, there's a central living/kitchen area to gather and play games and eat. Two extra meeting/gathering rooms, one screened in, and one balcony. The pond is great for fishing (and there are lots of ponds....we used the one in front of the lodge but there are many more available for "real" fishermen! We utilized the kayaks and rented the boat for the 4-day stay. Highly recommend this lodge.

Work Retreat
Jim was great to work with and proud of the property they're developing! It was a really good location for our work retreat and had lots of recreation options. There were a couple of things with the housing/meeting space that were different than we were expecting based on the description online, but Jim was quick to try to make things work for our group. Overall, a really beautiful place with lots of things to do - our group had a lot of fun!

Great for our family reunion
Overall was pleased with the accommodations. There were a few issues but Jim was quick to respond and fix. Like most homes today, there are cameras throughout the house and property. No big deal but there is monitoring. Last 5 or 6 miles to the ranch are dirt road but are smooth and easy to travel even while pulling a boat trailer. Plenty of sleeping setups and house stays cool even in the heat of day and doors opening and closing. Lake is clean and fishing was great. Lodge is on a ranch that has other options for campers throughout the 200 acres so you may or may not be the only ones out there. We had family from all over the South coming in for the family reunion. We saw some beautiful birds and were visited by a hummingbird which were dads favorite. Would easily recommend.

Beautiful location and lodge.
We really enjoyed the lodge, fishing and swimming. The lodge is perfectly set up to accommodate large groups. The lake is not quite be enough for wake boarding, skiing or other off the back of the boat type of sports. Some of the guest mentioned that they were a little uncomfortable with the amount of cameras located in and around the house.

Perfect for our family reunion
Our family has been doing a weekend family reunion annually for 4 yrs. Every year we've been to a different place trying to find that perfect one. This was it! Not only is the home and property big enough to accommodate a lot people, there are many other options of places to stay right there on the same property. One of my boys rented a small house there on the property and another one rented an RV there. This property has so much growth potential as our family continues to grow. Jim welcomed us upon arrival and showed us around the property. He was an excellent host! Lots of helpful information and quickly answered questions I had prior to arrival. The ages of our family that attended for this weekend ranged from 4months to 84 yrs! Literally everyone had something to do there. From visiting, to hiking, fishing, swimming, making smores, cooking in or outdoors... so much fun! There was only one thing I would change if I could about this place and that is for it to have a master bedroom with a king bed and attached bathroom for my elderly parents. We made it work for the weekend though, and it worked out. Thanks so much for the most memorable family weekend reunion to date Jim! I have no doubt we'll be back :)

This place was perfect for our church girls camp! 22 teenage girls & a handful of adults for 4 days! The accommodations were great!
