Elana C. Aug 19, 2024 11:30:48 PM
Summary: We had three families totaling 14 people. This place was ideal! Plenty of bedrooms and beds for the adults and kids to pick. Plenty of bathrooms so no waiting! Plenty of space! Spent lots of time on the porch. Kids spent lots of time in the river! The whole place is homey and comfortable with everything you could need! With seven boys and a teenage girl it can be challenging to meet everyone's needs - this place nailed it! Hope to come back again.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge! More than enough space for our family to spread out, and we enjoyed preparing meals in the large kitchen, soaking in the hot tub, playing jenga and dipping our toes in the shallow river.
Margaret Z. Jul 20, 2023 08:13:30 AM
Summary: We had a great stay with extended family. Everyone had space to spread out when we need and a big porch, family room and dinner table to come together as a group. The lodge was clean, well stocked and comfortable for all of us. Cara was very responsive to questions. There is a park next door that gets a good amount of traffic during the day.

Summary: Imagine pulling up to the house, snow lightly falling. You open the door and the first vision of the interior of the house is soft lights highlighting the big open living space, kitchen and dining room. Our stay at Rapid River Lodge was filled with moments of "is this real?". We had a group of 11, ranging in age from 3 to 48. We had so much space to spread out. Plenty of rooms/beds/linens/towels. We had no problem preparing the food we brought with all that was supplied at Rapid River Lodge. They have so much on hand to prepare for large groups. The sleeping arrangements were wonderful! They had beds for babies, bed gates for our 3 year old, and plenty of sleeping space for our kids to choose from. My husband and I slept in the king bed, which has a mattress that is so comfortable. We slept great! Our sons slept in the room with the best view, along the river, and enjoyed waking up to the gorgeous winter view of the river. The first night it was snowing when we arrived, though it wasn't snowing just 15 miles away. The kids loved the magic of sitting in the hot tub watching the snow fall on a long winter's night. The next day we explored the yard, walked to the bridge, and took a short hike along some trails. Again, it was a winter wonderland. The property is a hidden gem of peaceful tranquility. Quiet, though not far from a main road. This property pays attention to details! We had so many options for playing games, putting puzzles together, enjoying time talking as a family, and watching the river. Our 3 year old loved the movies they had on hand to watch in the main area. As a former housekeeper for a bed and breakfast, I noticed how clean each space is. They pay attention to cleanliness which keeps the property looking amazing. My kids favorite part was how open the lodge is and how fun it was to explore all the different areas...the ultimate hide and go seek space. Before the first day was over, my kids were asking if we could come back next year! We didn't use much technology, yet the kids thought this was one of their favorite winter vacations. When we did need it, the wi-fi worked great and the landline phone was wonderful to stay connected with my elderly mother while we were away. We pretty much stayed on the property for the two days we were here. My kids said three or four days here would have been perfect. Thank you Rapid River Lodge for offering a space to give families a beautiful winter retreat!

Summary: Another perfect retreat! Clean, has everything you need and close enough to all the major scenic spots! Can’t wait to do the next one.
Bernice L. Jun 12, 2021 11:20:06 PM
Summary: …so said my 2.5 year-old grandson, and my immediate and extended family totally agreed. The lodge is spacious, welcoming and clean. There were plenty of bedrooms to accommodate our group of 10 adults and 5 kids. Dinners at the great table where all had a seat were delightful. The setting with the shallow river in front and the park on the side was perfect. All enjoyed the hot tub at night viewing the stars. We had a magical time with lots of pics to prove it.

Summary: We had 5 familys that included kids of all ages and had enough sleeping space and the entertainment room was incredible. This lodge was a awesome open floor plan to entertain one another with the outdoor space added for the entertainment. The best thing was the river flowing right out the back deck. The huge hot tub was a favorite on the side deck while listening to the river rushing across the rocks. The kitchen had everthing and anything to supply your needs of utensils, pans, bowls, salad bowls, silverware and way too much to list. Having the 2 fridges there was awesome due to how much food we had there. The kids had so much to do in the lodge to keep them entertained and the room to play. The lodge was really clean especially for how big it is. This lodge is amazing and will definitely be a happy returning customer. Highly recommended for big groups. Thanks for everything and giving us this experience at the Rapid River Lodge.
