Summary: Great property with lots of amenities, pontoon boat, kayaks, paddle boat and more, for use by our family. This is our second stay at Gresham Retreat and the owner of the property is very quick to respond when questions arrive. They did a great job answering any question we had. I highly recommend booking this property.
Tim H. May 27, 2025 10:27:41 PM
Summary: Our stay was truly wonderful. The home is beautiful, with breathtaking views of the lake that made our trip extra special. We especially appreciated the spacious and well-appointed kitchen, which made cooking feel effortless and enjoyable, especially with a larger group of people.We also thoroughly enjoyed all the kayaks and the paddle boat that were available to us! A couple of things to note: we really missed having dressers in the bedrooms, especially since one of them doesn’t have a closet. Living out of a suitcase for several days isn’t ideal, and a bit more storage would make a big difference. Also, the fan in the main bathroom off the kitchen didn’t seem to be working, which was a minor inconvenience.That said, we truly loved our stay and are already considering booking again for next year. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with amazing views!

Summary: The cabin was exactly as pictured and the host was very thorough in describing the amenities! The cabin is gorgeous and there is plenty of space. We’d love to be back in summer to enjoy the lake!

Summary: I can't even say how many times we have stayed at the Gresham Lodge to celebrate the New Year with three families. Those young teens are now all college-age and they love the space for playing games, watching movies and sleeping. We parents love the kitchen as we enjoy making big meals for everyone. When the snow cooperates, we are close to the snowmobile trails and have a lot of fun. This place has come to feel like home! Our hosts are so helpful and friendly too.
Erica P. Dec 2, 2024 03:39:23 AM

Hamid A. Oct 16, 2024 11:23:20 PM
Summary: Awesome location, wonderful property! Not possible to have a bad stay here. Kitchen is great as well. Host communication was excellent. Only issues were that the boat was not very clean and there were lots of (mostly dead) flies in the house. Overall great!
Lori G. Oct 15, 2024 08:37:37 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Gresham Retreat. There were a few minor hiccups that the owner quickly rectified. He was so quick to respond and kind. We would happily stay here again. You won't be disappointed with the privacy and fantastic views!
