The family room — sofas and armchairs around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, under a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and tall windows on two sides.

Session and breakout rooms

There are several rooms to meet in, on two floors.

The family room has a stone fireplace under a vaulted ceiling, and windows on two sides. The movie theater has four full-size reclining couches facing a 200-inch screen, and a small stage at the front. You can present from a laptop there.

The deck runs the back of the lodge and holds a session in good weather. For breakouts, use the upstairs landing, the long dining table, the game room, or the Study.

The work station in Nora’s studio — a height-adjustable standing desk with two monitors, a high-back leather chair, and a power strip on the desk. HDMI cables are there to connect your own computer.

Wi-Fi and cell service

The Wi-Fi is fast and it reaches the whole lodge and the deck. It supports Wi-Fi calling, so calls and texts work over it.

Cell service in the forest is unreliable and depends on the carrier. Tell your team to expect no signal once they turn off Lake Mary Road, and to turn on Wi-Fi calling before they leave town.

Nora’s Room has a standing desk with two monitors.

Activities and meals

The disc golf course, the sport court, the field, and the firepit are on the property.

The kitchen has counter space for more than one cook, and two grills sit on the deck.

The Window Room — a queen bed beneath a high wood-panelled ceiling, with tall windows along one wall looking into the forest.

Team size and RVs

The beds sleep 20 adults comfortably. If your team is larger, ask us.

There are RV sites with electric and water hookups. RVs can add rooms. Ask us before you bring one, and we will tell you where it goes.

The Study — a green convertible sofa between two glass-fronted bookcases, under an exposed wood-beam ceiling, with a framed world map on the wall.

Invoicing

We can invoice a company directly instead of taking a card at booking. Ask when you inquire.

Prices

Lodging See the calendar Per night. Two nights or more
Cleaning $450 or $550 Two nights, or longer
Extra guests $25 Per night, per guest above 16. Book direct and children under 13 do not count
Tax 6.9% Added at checkout
Security deposit $750 Returned after checkout

Group size

The lodge is set up for up to 30 guests. The beds sleep 20 adults comfortably. In a group of 30, children share beds, use the air mattresses, or bring sleeping bags.

RVs and tents on the property are not part of the 30. A travel trailer delivered to an RV site sleeps four to eight. If your group is larger than 30, ask us.

A much larger group can need county permits and other items, such as restrooms, parking, and access for fire trucks. Those add time and cost.

Questions

Questions

Is there space to run sessions and breakouts?

Yes, on two floors. Sessions run in the family room, the movie theater, or on the deck. Breakout groups can use the upstairs landing, the long dining table, the game room, and the Study.

Can we present to the whole team?

Yes. The movie theater has four full-size reclining couches facing a 200-inch screen. A 4K projector with surround sound drives it, and there is a small stage at the front. There is an HDMI input at the back of the room for a laptop.

Is the Wi-Fi fast enough for video calls?

Yes. The Wi-Fi is fast and it reaches the whole lodge and the deck, and it supports Wi-Fi calling. Cell service in the forest is unreliable and depends on the carrier, so tell the team to turn on Wi-Fi calling before they leave town.

Is there a desk to work from?

Yes. Nora’s Room, the studio over the garage, has a standing desk with two monitors and its own entrance.

Can you invoice our company?

Yes. We can invoice a company directly instead of taking a card at booking. Ask when you inquire.

What is there to do between sessions?

A sport court with pickleball and half-court basketball, a disc golf course, a level field, a firepit, and forest to walk in. The game room has billiards, skee-ball, foosball, darts, and three arcade cabinets.

Can we see the property before we book?

Yes. A visit to walk the property with us costs $150. That pays for our drive and our time. This site has photos and videos, and we answer other questions on the video call.

How far ahead should we plan?

For an event with a county permit, we need your final date and headcount at least 60 days before.

Do you hold our dates while we decide?

Yes. When we send your quote, we hold your dates for 30 days, or until you accept or decline. You can ask for changes during that time. You pay nothing until you accept.

When do we pay?

It depends on whether your plans need a county permit. With no permit, you pay half when you accept, and the rest 60 days before you arrive. With a permit, you pay a permit deposit when you accept, half when the county approves, and the rest 60 days before your date. Your quote shows each amount and each date.

Can we change the plan after we accept?

Usually, yes. Tell us what you want to change. We update the quote, and you accept the new version. A change to the date or the headcount can affect a county permit.
