We really enjoyed our week at the Lodge. The Lodge is comfortable and well-equipped, and we took advantage of all of the amenities (air hockey, foosball, hot tub, fire pits, tetherball, sand court, trails, etc).
There ended up being 11 of us, and we never felt cramped given the large great room, finished basement and beautiful loft. We used the wall of bunks, which worked well for us as we had some working remotely and needing the privacy of the bedrooms. Internet also worked fine, allowing remote work for 2 for a couple of days.
Plenty to do in the area as well, and every trip out leads you through beautiful mountains and valleys. The Lodge is located within an easy drive of Franklin for groceries, churches and anything you might need.
Driveway is steep and gravel, but well-maintained. Our loaded FWD minivan handled it with no issues. And the drive up the mountain helps set the stage for the peace and privacy you will find at the Lodge.
Communication and hospitality from owner was excellent.
Note that some of the play equipment has a 100lb weight limit, but the kids that were under that really enjoyed the zipline and swings.
Truly a great place to recharge with family and soak in the beauty of God's creation. Great way to start the summer!
