We had an amazing stay, and everything listed in the amenities was exactly as described. The property has so many unique features that made the experience really memorable.The creek was one of our favorite parts. It has a clear start and end point and was incredibly refreshing during the heat. There were also plenty of floaties available, so everyone had the opportunity to enjoy it comfortably. The basketball court was spacious, and the arcade options were especially unique and fun. There were plenty of bathrooms throughout the property, and they were all well stocked. There is also a theater room, although we didn’t end up using it during our stay.The custom details throughout the space were really charming and gave the property a lot of character. The kitchen was well stocked, organized, and easy to navigate. The main refrigerator was very spacious, and we especially appreciated having the smaller refrigerator in the back that cooled things down much faster.We did experience a few minor issues with the well-water distribution throughout the house. Most were minimal, but one room consistently had extremely hot/scalding water, so that may be something worth checking.Overall, this was an amazing location with so much to offer. The property exceeded our expectations, and we definitely felt that it was worth the cost. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay!

We did a family reunion vacation at the laughing bear lodge and it did not disappoint! They thought of everything, from the well stocked kitchen, to the basement area full of activities we had no shortage of anything! This property is beautiful, the host was very communicative, and everyone really enjoyed our visit. Highly recommend and already considering coming again!
