Pap’s Place
Family-friendly, rustic lodge is perfect for large groups. The darts, bumper pool, card table were great for the rainy days. The fire pit, horseshoe court and rolling hills were great for fair weather days. Our family had a great time, and got to spends lots of time reconnecting without being attached to phones and electronic devices. The hosts were very responsive to any questions and concerns. The hosts provided sheets, household soaps and cleaning and paper goods, plenty of kitchen ware, and even some sweet treats for us when we arrived.

Perfect For A Guys Trip
Beautiful, secluded location with plenty of room and amenities. The owners really thought of everything and were more than accommodating for anything we needed.
