Great place for a big group

Stayed at this great place for 2 nights. We had a large group of 40 and this was the best place we could find for that big of a group. We will be going back again next year. Host was very responsive regarding any questions we had.

Nolan trip

Great location and facilities. There are a few tweaks required for the older property such as dining furniture, showers and some mattreses may be too soft for some. Overall, great experience and flexibility demonstrated by the property owner as they gave is a couple extra hours to check out.

Perfect Family Reunion Location

This was the perfect spot for our family reunion! The views were gorgeous and the kids loved the huge field where they played all day. We loved all the picnic tables outside so we could send all the kids outside to eat. The many folding tables and chairs inside were extremely useful for any configuration that we would possibly need. The kitchen had so much counter space and was well stocked with all the supplies we could possibly need. The two fridges and deep freeze made it easy for us to organize all of our food for the reunion. The configuration of the rooms was perfect so each family was able to have two beds in each room and most rooms had their own sink with a shared bathroom with the adjacent room. I was surprised to find there were even more beds and futons that we could have used if we had needed. At the end of the trip, it was so wonderful to have several washers and dryers so multiple families could be doing laundry at the same time. Really our only wish would be for a larger sink so we could handwash the larger pots and pans easier.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

The location is stunning, and the house itself is spacious and comfortable. However, there is definitely room for improvement in terms of cleanliness. The furniture and bedding are quite old and worn. Not all the windows have screens, which makes it difficult to get proper airflow, and the house gets uncomfortably hot on warm summer days without air conditioning. Additionally, the property manager was unresponsive to my messages, although she did stop by once during the stay.

Cheryl was awesome to deal with

We had an incredible experience at Payne Lake Lodge. The lodge was big enough for our family gathering. Cheryl was very attentive to our needs. She took care of stuff that required attention promptly. We ran into communication challenges exchanging and getting information via VRBO site but Cheryl and I manage to rectify the missing important details we required regarding arriving and entry to the property. Cheryl even offered her property for petting animals for my little nephews and nieces, weaving from their animal pets fur for both adults and kids alike and —— our experience with the wagon ride which we all enjoyed. She asked us to write our suggestions for minor stuff we noticed needs improvement. She was accommodating and delightful to deal with.

Perfect for large family

Our family of 34 stayed at the Lodge for a week and it was wonderful. There were plenty of comfortable beds and towels and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook anything we wanted! We filled the 3 fridges with food for the week and had plenty of space. We used the bbq outside one night and it was great. I will be totally honest- if you are expecting the Marriott - this is not the Marriott. It’s a well loved and well used beautiful country lodge. We had wasps and mosquitoes and all the things you’d expect to find in the country. We even had a little bat sneak in somehow but he quickly flew out when we guided him towards the door. Cheryl was quick to respond and so helpful (and apologetic for the bat) None of the country critters spoiled our stay - We loved the view and the location was perfect for our family. So much space and grass area for little ones to play. We had wonderful weather but even if it was bad weather there was so much room inside we would have played games and still had a terrific time. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back again with our family. ❤️

Perfect Micro-Wedding venue

My Wife and I booked this property as a place to stay and venue for a wedding with 20 people. The views were great, and the lodge was clean and well organized, with plenty of options for entertainment. Our guest loved the property as well, with lots of beds and bathrooms everyone was very comfortable. The host was easy to get a hold of and came and checked with us in the first night to make sure everything was good. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a reunion or small gathering venue.

Amazing place

We had a great time at the Payne Lake Lodge! So many rooms and so many extra beds! Waking up to that view is breathtaking, the stars at night are amazing, we really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is stocked with whatever tools you might need and there is ample place to sit in the dining area. There aren’t many outside lights, my parents had brought a string of Christmas lights which we placed on the deck, made hanging out outside wonderful. We loved that Cheryl came to greet us and answered any questions we had.

Beautiful spot for a family reunion!

The location is beautiful, with gorgeous views of Payne Lake and the mountains. The lodge was perfect for our family reunion with a large kitchen, two fridges, plenty of outdoor seating and lots of folding chairs and tables if we needed extra. We enjoyed the games and rec equipment (volleyball, football, pool,etc) as well as the grand piano. We also appreciated the excellent customer service and communication provided by our hosts.
