Family time for dad's 80th birthday

We loved the cabin. Lots of space for everyone. Very rustic and peaceful. We did a lot of fishing and caught many different fish. It was very windy the whole time we were there but we still found things to do. Would love to come back

Rustic fun

House was designed for a fun rustic country feel while being fully equipped and comfortable. The main level with kitchen and one bedroom is accessible without stairs, the other bedrooms require stairs. Only suggestion: please provide a couple ice cube trays.

Fun Family Weekend at Antler Hill!

Our adult children and their families joined us for a long family weekend at Antler Hill, and we had a great time! The kitchen is well supplied and functional, and the open great room made 15 of us eating together enjoyable. The pond with fishing and kayaking was a hit for the parents and kids. My husband and I kayaked for the first time:-) We spent a day at the beach at nearby Lake Anita, and swimming with littles was perfect. AC kept us cool in the hot weather but kind of noisy. In spite of the hot weather, we still got a quick bonfire in and roasted marshmallows. Thanks for a memorable family time in your unique and beautiful lodge in a lovely location.

Family reunion

We had our children and grandchildren and my 2 brothers and families stayed at the adjoining cabin. It was a beautiful setting on either property deck with the pond and kayaks as a bonus. We enjoyed a fire pit at both places and plenty of space to have dinner together every night (15 and 6)

Bachelor Party

The cabin was perfect for our group of 12. The fishing and kayaking on the pond was better than we could ask for. As for the cabin, the pictures do not do justice. The cabin was huge, with plenty of seating. The detail and woodwork inside and outside of the cabin was absolutely gorgeous. Cathy was also great. Any question that we asked was promptly responded to. We are already planning another trip here for next year.

Great views!

The location and cabin is great. There wasn't any communication on how to check in or what was needed to check out which was inconvenient. Also, the dock and kayaks are across the lake, and no instructions on how to get there, so we drove over a mowed path. I thought this stuff would be in the backyard of the cabin to still be able to participate from the deck of the cabin but that's not the case. The pond is also muddy, not great for littles or swimming. There is Lake Anita near by though which was great.

Family getaway

The view was amazing. Pond was amazing. Lodge was amazing. Everything was great. Just be aware of the high back dining chairs. Everyone kept bumping their arms on it and it hurted! My family couldn't find the exact location because the turn to the lodge was a little hidden by corn field. Would definitely help if there was some sort of sign. Overall, it was a great weekend and beautiful cabin.
