The lodge can sleep up to 8 comfortable yet has enough room to add a air mattress or two. Plenty of room to relax inside or outside. The lodge sits on 15 acres. Covered front porch and a deck out back. Only 3 miles from Kinkaid Lake and Shawnee National Forest and a Saloon within walking distance. The only thing you need to bring is your clothes, bathroom products, food and beverage. We do not have floor fans so if you need something like that you will have to bring .

Awesome Place to stay!

Great place to stay for a weekend at the lake! Tons of room for family friends and huge backyard to play with the kids. Large driveway so if you are bringing a boat it wont be a problem to park it. They had everything you would need!
