Huge Lodge in the Woods- Peaceful and private!

This gorgeous 5,000 square feet house built on 5 acres of nature has 8 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 giant open-concept kitchen/dining areas, a fully equipped basement suite, a large playroom upstairs, giant walk-in closets, half-wrap-around porch, a fourth story loft, a deck for large groups, ample parking, and wooded acres and space full of trees and trails. Enjoy coffee or wine on the porch, fires outdoors in the fire pit in the summer and cozy fires in the wood burning stove in the winters. Enjoy letting the kids play upstairs in the huge play area (or downstairs) and loft while the adults have board game tournaments on the main floor. Cook in two kitchens, and enjoy watching movies downstairs. Don't be afraid to make noise (within reason) as the house is surrounded by woods and very private. Walk through the forest in back yard or host a capture the flag game in the field in front.

Room Break-Downs:
Main Floor-
Bedroom 1: king bed, connected to bathroom
Bedroom 2: Queen bed
Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Common area: 3 couches, one pull out for queen beds
Upstairs-
Bedroom 4: Queen bed, double mattress/box springs in double walk-in closet, cozy nook
Bedroom 5: King bed, two queen mattress in triple walk-in closet, two single mattresses in nook
Common area: futon, two couches
Bedroom 6: This bedroom is only accessible through the garage. The stairs are a tad steep so it is not advisable for elderly or young children. This is a giant room with a king size bed, couch, and lots of floor space. It's ideal for someone who makes a lot of noise as you cannot hear anything from this bedroom in the main house. It does have it's own heater and air conditioning unit in this bedroom as it's not connected to the rest of the house. So it can get hot in the summer if the window unit air conditioner just turned on. Also, the bathroom is in the main house, so it's a bit of a hike in the middle of the night.
Downstairs-
Bedroom 7:
King bed, queen bed
Bedroom 8: Queen bed, crib
Common area: 4 couches, a Harry Potter closet under the stairs with a single mattress, kitchen laundry room, storage room. Extra fold up table and chairs are in the storage room and closet.

We can host up to 40 people over night, but there are only conventional beds for 20. Then we have futons, couches, mattresses and box springs, pull-out couches, and mats, etc. for more people. There is plenty of space for everyone and comfy beds/mattresses, but not all in typical beds.)

RULES:
-No smoking inside
-No Pets
-No Drugs
-Sheets do NOT need to be stripped as we have a specific system for washing them and confuse sizes when they are together.
-Garbage gets brought down to the dumpster along the driveway.
-Please keep food out of carpeted rooms and areas.
-Please do not take out screens DO NOT GO ON THE ROOF, it's rather steep and not safe. Damage deposit will be forfeited if parties go on the roof!
-Close doors! There are too many bugs and wildlife around that can sneak in open doors.
-We put a fence on the West side where our property ends with "No Trespassing" signs. This marks the end of our property and the beginning of the neighbors. Please do not go on the neighbors property. Both properties on the West and East have a ponds near their property line and shooting ranges on their land. IT IS NOT SAFE TO GO ON THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. We hate to even put this in because we have tons of space on our own land, complete privacy and 99% of groups respect property lines. We have great neighbors who appreciate their private property and because of a few groups who have not respected this rule, we've asked our neighbors to immediately call the police if people are on their property.

Thanks!

Great stay for a big group.
The Green Lodge comfortably accommodated our large group. In most rentals we end up having some guests sleeping on couches or even air mattresses but the lodge had a bed for everyone.

Great place with plenty of space!
We stayed here the night before and the night of our wedding. The owner was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early. Although each “bed” is not always in a bedroom, there was plenty of space for our group!

Great home for big families
We enjoyed our stay at Green Lodge. It accommodated our big family well. We appreciated 2 kitchens. The paved driveway area was great for outdoor games. The large deck was great for eating outside and crafts for the kids. There were some maintenance/upkeep issues. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Guys weekend
Great house that had plenty of room for all 26 people to sleep comfortably. The back porch and yard were perfect spots for hanging out and playing games. The fire pit was a nice bonus too. The owner and property manager were easy to work with and provided great communication throughout the weekend. Absolutely loved this place!

Great home for big families!
We loved our stay here. This home is private, clean, well stocked, and so spacious. We needed to find a home that would be big enough to house our family that has grown so much over the years. It was so nice to all be under one roof to catch up and celebrate our mom’s 80th birthday. Thank you Amber for sharing your beautiful home with us. We made so many great memories there.

Perfect stay for extended family.
Nothing to improve on. It was immaculate. It was perfectly stocked for our group of 31. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors. Plus some bonuses like the second kitchen, basketball court, firepit, large deck. Would absolutely stay again. Nearby coffee shop and ice cream shop were big hits with our group too.

A wonderful home to host a multigenerational party for our mom’s 95th bday. Plenty of room for all the adults, grands, and great grands. Beautiful yard and wrap around porch. Huge deck. The house had everything we needed. Check in was easy. The hosts were great. They made sure everything was ready for us. If you have a large group, this is the place to stay!

Wonderful Christmas Stay
We found Green Lodge to be exactly as it was in the listing. The place is spacious, tons of rooms, adequate for a large crowd party. We had Christmas celebration with friends, and everyone was happy with their experience. The owner responds promptly to all inquiries and the location is so close to where we came from that we are planning to rent this place again for summer or fall getaway. Thank you! We had a splendid time!

Green Lodge
The property was beautifully maintained and everyone had plenty of room to visit while the children played inside and outside. The neighbor’s gun range shooting was a little disruptive one evening and drove us inside to escape the noise. We appreciated the note from the owner about a family fun day at the garden center down the road and it was a fun fall afternoon for the children and adults. The house and grounds were great. The neighbor’s shooting range was the only negative.

Country Heaven
The house was a slice of heaven out in the middle of the country side, but not too far from businesses for groceries and restaurants. Peaceful setting with plenty of room for aunts, uncles and cousins to have their own bedrooms and bathrooms. Communication with the property manager was easy and I would definitely stay here in the future.
