About this property
Entire place
The Derby Lodge - Lake living at its finest!!
**** A couple of important things to mention. You must be 25 or older to book this property. Parking is limited. There are only 6 parking spots so carpool if you must. You can park your car overnight at the Meijer in Greenville which is about 20 minutes away. There are 4 parking spots outside and 2 in the double stall garage. You can bring your own boat or pontoon as there is a dock but there are not lifts for either. Make sure you have boat fenders/bumpers so that you don't damage the dock or your boat. If you do bring your own boat, contact me before as we do not allow trailers to be stored on the property due to parking/driving constraints. There are a couple of local places nearby where you can rent pontoons as well. ****
**** In late October/ early November of every year, the dock, kayaks, pedal boat, and outdoor games will be put away for the winter season. The patio table and chairs will also be put away. ****
**** There are cameras on the perimeter of the house for liability reasons only. ****
**** No Bachelor / Bachelorette parties or any other parties of any kind. ****
This house has over 150 feet of water frontage on Derby Lake with a private dock. A pedal boat, 4 adult kayaks (2 open and 2 sit in), and 2 open kid kayaks are provided to explore the lake. There is about a 75' section of the lodge's waterfront that is only 1.5 to 2 feet deep making it perfect for kids to play in. It's like having your own private sandbar. Fishing is popular here whether it be in the summer or ice fishing in the winter.
Wake up and enjoy tranquility with a fresh cup of coffee from the combo k cup / coffee maker and sit in the screened-in porch or on the second floor deck. Grill out on the Weber Grill and enjoy the fire pit outside in the spacious yard. When things get competitive grab the corn hole set or spike ball game from the shed. When you need to relax, grab a seat in the hot tub located in its own private room inside the garage.
The Living Room has plenty of seating and a Smart Samsung TV if you need a break or just want to watch a movie. The gas fire place that extends all the way to the second floor ceiling is sure to keep you warm if you need it. The loft overlooks the living room and has a giant bean bag that is near impossible to get out of because it's so comfortable. So grab a book or take a nap, it's a family favorite. The loft is a great place to play card games or board games as there is ample room for everyone and there is a ping pong table in the garage. One of the rooms has a desk so if you are coming to work remotely you will have a space and some peace and quiet to work.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a toaster, crock pot, dutch oven, steel pots and pans or some non stick pans (depending on your preference), glass and plastic drinkware along with adult drinkware, plates and bowls, silverware, food storage containers, coffee maker with a k-cup brewer, a pour over coffee pot, french press, coffee grinder, blender, cookie sheets, hand mixer, griddle, mixing bowls, common seasonings, and much more.
Guests will have whole house access except for owners closet and the single stall garage.
