Romantic Waterview Lodge Suite with Hot Tub

JosephRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Very nice country setting with waterfront pond view. Very clean and comfortable cabin like unit. Great experience overall. Only negatives would be that only one tiny circlet of soap is provided, when 2 would be more adequate — for bathroom hand washing, and showering. Also the guest on the upper floor was banging things around, and dropping things on the floor around 7 AM, which is ridiculous. With that said, it is not the fault of the establishment’s ownership, as that is out of their control, unfortunately. Highly recommend.

A cozy living area features a combination of plush seating options, including a sofa, a recliner, and two accent chairs. A wooden coffee table sits at the center, adorned with a white lace runner. Natural light enters through a window, complementing decorative elements on the walls.

Terri and Graham were extremely friendly and accommodating hosts. They proactively communicated with us and ensured we had everything we needed. Terri was also so kind as to give us a tour of her property and it is evident how compassionate and knowledgeable she is about farm and livestock care. The apartment itself was adorable, well decorated and equipped and was in a safe and secure location. We would 100% stay at this property again and we thank Graham and Terri for their hospitality!

Riverside House located on River&Campground

JohnRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Had a great time. It’s at a campground so my granddaughter could swing. We loved the new covered bridge with the red white and blue blinking lights underneath the bridge at night. Watched a few kayakers go by. We could not kayak due to rain. Maybe next time. They have a restaurant right on the premises. We didn’t get to eat there. You could eat drink and set out by the river or sit on the porch with a gas fire pit. The campground was clean and just a few minutes from Mohican adventure. Our place was not packed with people. It was exactly what we wanted and needed. The house was nicely renovated.

An open living space reveals a large, comfortable L-shaped sofa centered on a light-colored area rug. Two cushioned chairs sit nearby, and large windows allow natural light to fill the room, providing views of the surrounding greenery. The kitchen area features modern appliances and cabinetry.

My family and I just spent a week at this amazing place! The layout of the house is so cool and it’s very spacious. We spent a lot of time outside, exploring in nature. It really is a big outdoor playground! We really enjoyed swimming and using the slip and slide! This place is truly a hidden haven. While there, it feels as though you are far away in a beautiful, secluded forest, yet when in need of something, the store is only minutes away. Our hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. They responded to any questions or needs we had throughout our stay. My family and I had a fantastic time and we would definitely stay there again!
