Solo Vacation

Very nice place to rest and relax. My relatives stopped by and loved the game room and fishing at Beaver Lake. It was my first vacation alone after my husband’s death and it turned out really nice for me.

We loved our stay!

Binion lodge was both inviting, relaxing and a home away from home for us. The game room was a huge hit! Each area of the home is well thought out with function, purpose and care. The porch rocking chairs, the patio, the swing out back and expansive landscape are a few outdoor spots we enjoyed. We have No complaints; the only sad part was realizing how quickly the time went by and the desire to have stayed longer.
