We have three generations totaling 20 people fora week’s stay at this property. We have rented many VRBO’s and this property was the best equipped and most unique we have stayed in. The kitchen has two refrigerators and there is also a cooler in the bar area. We only ate one meal out in 7 days so the kitchen was used extensively. We used the pool table, shuffle board, and darts on rainy days. The sauna is beautiful and works well. We had two meals from the fish we caught. There are zebra mussels in the lake so beware of them as you can get cuts on your feet. Our group from age 20 to 86 enjoyed our stay very much.

Bowstring Lodge was simply amazing. What a place for a large gathering! Fantastic indoor games, lots of room outside. This place is dripping with character. The kitchen is overstocked with all you might need. Sleeping areas for sooo many! We had 11 adults and 10 kids...3 months old to 17. Everyone had a blast. And Josh is a great host. He is working on remodeling the lodge and it looks great.

10 out of 10! Perfect setting for a guys weekend! Lodge is rustic yet very comfortable and beautiful! Glad the history is being preserved for the future. Josh is a great host who was very accessible if needed and available for any questions or tips involving the property. Very easy to work with and booking was a breeze. Repeat costumer for sure!
