The character and charm of The Ivy Lodge at Pine Lake will captivate you for a unique and family-friendly stay!

The main floor has 3 bedrooms, a bright & open living area w/access to the expansive lakeside covered deck & 2 full baths. Original wood floors are throughout the cottage.

Great adult vaca house
This house is a great house for a group of adults. Came on a guys golf trip and was perfect for what we needed it for. Not much living area to gather as a bigger group indoors though.

A total gem!
This place is *everything*! It's located right on a gorgeous lake with a usable dock, floating raft, paddleboard, and hammock. The huge balcony is perfect on a summer evening. I rented this place for myself and 12 other friends/family for my 40th birthday weekend and with 9 bedrooms and dozens of beds, we all basically had our own rooms which was a major plus!! The house was clean and organized and had TONS of communal space for hanging out. It was beautiful, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is also really big and perfect for cooking. We had an absolute blast staying at this place and I highly highly recommend it for anyone planning a fun weekend at the lake with a big group !
