Large Home Plenty of space

We had stayed her over 13 years ago and the host was amazing then and now! However, the house not so much. The house was incredibly dirty, Dirty laundry inside the house, dust everywhere, and the house it sell was in desperate need of some TLC. Very large house and great for entertaining large gatherings but I think it is time for a uplift.

10 basketball players and parents head to Seattle for tourney

It was exactly as I expected; lodge that was large enough for big group, nothing fancy so it felt like we were in the mountains at a place drifters can come through and use and try to leave it better than they found it! Owner is super nice and definitely wants your stay to be enjoyable. Our only downer was that half the lodge was freezing cold due to heater breaking the week before we got there. We made it work but could have have used the extra space. Definitely intend on visiting there again in a warmer time and recommend to large parties for sure.

Unique and remote property

We had a wonderful time staying at the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and a great VHS collection. I would recommend this property to anyone doing a retreat weekend or multi family get away.

We want to heal the whole person and provide self worth and ways to financially support them selves and creqte stability and hope.

Why they chose this property

Another interesting fact about ther Lodge is was rented for the second Borat Moviie. Because of Covid the Hoolywood Producer was looking for a large secluded Propery that they could film part of the Movie at the Lodge. If you watch the Movie (which has something in it to offend every one) you will watch Borat in the Living Room Seating area and also walking down the hallway to kill the virus (he refers to it as the Verus) . When the Movie was filmed we were not allowed on the Property as it was a secret what they were doing. We found out that Borat had been there after the movie came out.

What makes this property unique

The property is totally private and has a 4 block long driveway into the property and a wonderful small lake with fresh water that is great for wildlife and swimming. The estate has a 1/2 basketball court inside, outdoor hot tub, game room with foosball, pool table, table tennis, dance floor with disco ball and a full wet bar. Inside I also have my collection of 13 classic cars with couches, bistro tables and memorabilia. There is a full gourmet kitchen for cooking and entertaining off the large living and dining room.
