Our group had a very pleasant stay at this property. The accommodations were as they were represented. Gary was very pleasant and helpful. There was ample room for everyone inside and out. Our group ranged from 8 to 12 people throughout the week. Teenage to elderly! We had great weather, played a lot of bags and had ample time in and on the water!

This was our 5th year at this property. 6 adults and 5 kids ranging in age from 6 to 12. We love that we can dock our boats, fish, swim and float in the lake, play on the huge grounds, sit by the campfire singing and playing guitar with the owner and friends, eat meals all together at the enormous bar, and enjoy life all right there!!! There is plenty of room for all 11 of us!! We rent his pontoon for a family fun day. Will be returning next year as well!! Thanks a lot Gary!!!

This was our second year at the chip lodge. we liked it so much the first year that we had to come back. the first year we showed up there was maybe 15 people and the house easily accommodated us. its a rustic vibe. things are old and perhaps that is the charm and what we like about it. the highlight for us is definitely the slow cruises on the pontoon boat as we explored the lake. The kitchen is huge and designed to feed a lot of people. Gary is a nice guy. He lives right next door which is helpful if you have any questions about the lake, boats, lures, fishing, and everything else. The view from the large deck is exceptional. Enjoy your stay here. I'd recommend this place for any large group.

The property could definitely use updates and some deep cleaning. Lady bugs (the biting ones) were a big problem!
