This house was perfect for our family of 9. There was plenty of space for everyone! We enjoyed playing games, walking around the lake and fishing while we were there. We especially loved being able to fit around the dinner table to spend time together at each meal. The hot tub was perfect for evening relaxation, and we had at least 2 nights around the fire pit. The hosts are extremely responsive and accommodating, and we really appreciated the hospitality. Most of all, the house was decorated for Christmas and it felt like home! We loved this stay and can’t recommend it enough!

Our family had an amazing stay at Lake Dakwa Lodge! The location is stunning—overlooking the lake with a huge deck that has plenty of seating and fire pits, perfect for roasting marshmallows with the grandkids. It was the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the view.The cabin fit our group of sixteen perfectly. Everyone had their own spacious bedroom, and the primary suite was a dream—definitely worth claiming! The kitchen made cooking Thanksgiving a breeze, and the large dining table was perfect for meals and games.We loved the four-sided glass fireplace, which became a cozy gathering spot, and the big hanging swing was a hit with the kids, who imagined it as pirate ships, rockets, and everything in between.The rock wall and slide in the playroom downstairs kept the little ones busy for hours, while the adults enjoyed playing pool, making popcorn, and watching football games and movies. And of course, everyone got in on the fun playing skeeball and basketball.With such gorgeous scenery, we couldn’t resist taking tons of family photos—the backdrop was picture-perfect everywhere we turned. We had a wonderful time and created memories we’ll cherish forever. We’ve rented cabins over the years, but everyone agreed that this one far surpassed all the others.If you’re lucky enough to find open dates, don’t hesitate—Lake Dakwa Lodge does not disappoint!

There were 18 of us that came to enjoy your cabin. The basement was amazing for kids, fully stocked with games, 2 large tv's. The space upstairs was spacious and we all enjoyed the views. Thank you for having us.

Our family - myself, the "Nana", two daughters and spouses and 4 kids ranging in ages from 9-18 all had a wonderful stay at this home. There was enough to do right around the house for at least a day and a half. Pedal boat, hot tub, the game room in the house is incredible - all kept everyone entertained. Some went fishing in the lake (it is a small lake -but still fun). Then... if that is not enough find a gazillions areas to go hiking within a 45 minute drive. We did a fantastic 9 mile hike - part of the AT- one day. Rested the next day in the hot tub! For the adults there are several wineries that were super fun. Children were welcome and there was plenty of room for them to run around while the adults chilled. The home itself has the best equipped kitchen I have ever encountered in a vacation rental. The owners are super communicative and quick with responses. Clear instructions - no overbearing "rules". Easy checkin and checkout. Highly recommend Lake Dakwa Lodge!! Elijah is cute town and Blue Ridge is an easy drive - had dinner there one night at Whiskey and Water - very good! Go and have fun!!!
