The Gathering Lodge is a relaxing, private log house with a stunning view.

The Gathering Lodge is Back!!!! The Gathering Lodge now under new ownership has been renovated into a new Modern Farmhouse look. It is under the same management and has the same relaxing, private feel with a stunning view! A new bathroom has been added to the upstairs bedrooms. We also plan to have some new activities including Frisbee golf, a sand volleyball court, a golfing tee area and mini golf putting area with 4 holes, an outdoor sauna, a hot tub, and paddle boards. New pictures posted, more to come!!!! We will start renting out again June 2026. Hope to see you soon!

We are a beautiful, private, modern farmhouse log lodge with a beautiful view. Come and gather with family or friends in our vacation home and relax by visiting one of our great local restaurants or cook food for your whole crew in our very grand, functional kitchen. You can stay entertained with games in our game room or sit and chat to catch up with your loved ones in our cozy siting areas. In the winter we have a great sledding hill, the lake is great for ice fishing, and we are just one mile away from the central lakes snowmobile trail. In the summer, we have a beautiful view overlooking Swan Lake. Although the beach is not a great swimming beach, we have access to the lake for fishing and you can rent a pontoon, a double decker pontoon with a slide, and we do have some water toys available for your use. We are a mile away from The Pebble Lake golf course and the central lakes bike trail. We would love to have you and your family and friends come together to have a great, memorable vacation at The Gathering Lodge!
