Matt Larrabee/ S. Aug 27, 2022 04:04:39 AM
Summary: This is an amazing place for a getaway! Dave was always available for any help/questions. Fishing was very fun out on the lake, would definitely recommend the boats and they are easy to operate. Everyone had an amazing time! Thank you Dave for everything!

Summary: Our stay at Nicatous Lodge and Cabins was a dream come true. The lodge and campground were full of fantastic little surprises that made our stay unforgettable. The kitchen had everything you needed to prepare a large meal (there were 40 of us). And, the great room and screened porches created a lot of extra living space. While the front lawn was a bit smaller than we’d anticipated, it was plenty big enough for multiple cornhole tourney, badminton, summer olympics, and croquet. David and the crew were wonderful hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We will definitely be back for another reunion at Nicatous.

Summary: We had our family reunion at Nicatous Lodge. There were 38 of us. We were all able to fit comfortably in the lodge and cabins. Dave, the owner was fabulous. Helpful and quick to respond before, during, and after our stay. The kitchen was extremely well stocked for preparing meals for this large group of people. The lake, situated just across the road was perfect. We used the boats, kayaks, and our own paddle boards constantly. The kids were able to run around safely. The road traffic was mostly ATVs. But the drivers of the occasional truck were courteous and careful. A 20 minute boat ride brought us to a state park beach where we hung out for a few hours. The bon fires built each night brought us all together outside. We had a few that needed to keep working. Dave’s access to high speed internet for those few was critical to enable them to stay with us for the entire time. We would stay here again! Thanks Dave!

Summary: We expected this to be a bit like scout camp and it is definitely rustic but was also clean and each cabin had its own bathroom (and most had small kitchens). Great places to gather in the lodge and on the porch with a huge kitchen for group cooking and cleaning. Laid back but very helpful host. The week flew by. We loved it!
Suzanne S. Aug 30, 2021 12:00:25 PM
Summary: Beautiful lakeside location that was great for our extended family gathering. We loved fishing during the day and sitting around the campfire at night. We gathered in the Lodge for dinner every evening. The Lodge was beautiful. The property was perfect for relaxing and catching up with family members.
Matt P. Aug 10, 2021 11:04:14 AM
Summary: We stayed at Nicatous Lodge and Campground for a bachelor party weekend. There were nearly 20 of us, and we had plenty of space and room for fun. The lodge itself was excellent with a large kitchen and outside grill which made cooking for 20 people very easy. The lake was beautiful, with access to canoes, kayaks, and some motor boats. There was also a nice lawn in front of the lodge over looking the lake which was great for lawn games. Finally, David was an amazing host- communicative, helpful, and not over bearing. Overall a great experience!
Samantha W. Jul 27, 2021 11:04:56 AM
Summary: We had the best time celebrating our wedding at Nicatous! Our friends and family had a great time swimming, fishing and boating. The cabins were perfect for everyone to have their own space. Dave was very accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had before and during our stay.
Kelly S. Aug 15, 2017 12:33:35 PM
Summary: My family and I returned for our family gathering this summer and (as always!) had a fabulous time! We were greeted warmly and welcomed to our cozy cabin before enjoying drinks on the deck while admiring the rainbow over the lake. Each day was a new adventure - from jogging along the lake in the morning to boating to sandy beaches and kayaking along grassy coves during the day, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The entire place maintains the simplicity and authenticity of a true sporting camp while allowing some to check-in with reality with WIFI when necessary! We will surely be back next year!!
