About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Gathering Lodge is a relaxing, private log house with a stunning view.

The Gathering Lodge is Back!!!! The Gathering Lodge now under new ownership has been renovated into a new Modern Farmhouse look. It is under the same management and has the same relaxing, private feel with a stunning view! A new bathroom has been added to the upstairs bedrooms. We also plan to have some new activities including Frisbee golf, a sand volleyball court, a golfing tee area, an outdoor sauna, a hot tub, and paddle boards. New pictures to come soon!!! We will start renting out again June 2026. The summer months will be rented out weekly, Saturday to Saturday, and the rest of the year will have a 2 night minimum. Hope to see you soon!

We are a beautiful, private, modern farmhouse log lodge with a beautiful view. Come and gather with family or friends in our vacation home and relax by visiting one of our great local restaurants or cook food for your whole crew in our very grand, functional kitchen. You can stay entertained with games in our game room or sit and chat to catch up with your loved ones in our cozy siting areas. In the winter we have a great sledding hill, the lake is great for ice fishing, and we are just one mile away from the central lakes snowmobile trail. In the summer, we have a beautiful view overlooking Swan Lake. Although the beach is not a great swimming beach, we have access to the lake for fishing and you can rent a pontoon, a double decker pontoon with a slide, and we do have some water toys available for your use. We are a mile away from The Pebble Lake golf course and the central lakes bike trail. We would love to have you and your family and friends come together to have a great, memorable vacation at The Gathering Lodge!

Best Vaca Ever!!

The lodge was large (our family of 25) enough for us all to have family time as well privacy for each individual family. The game room offered fun on the rainy days & on good days the lake toys (belonging to the lodge) & our own boat gave us access to the lake. It was a fabulous week & all ages left expressing how fun it was.

Great Place!!

Our family of 17 people stayed here for a week, and enjoyed every minute of it. The house was perfect! It was very well stocked; the beds were very comfortable; and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The garage and basement made great game rooms. The lake was really nice for tubing and fishing. We will definitely be back again!

Family Vacation

We chose the gathering lodge for our family vacation and we were very happy with our choice. It was the perfect size for our 5 families (10 adults, 8 kids). The space was very clean and extremely organized. It was 100% true that all we needed to bring was our family friends, and food. Tanya was a great host and responded quickly to any messages. Would recommend to anyone and we will definitely consider returning for future vacations.

Family Get Together at The Gathering Lodge

This property was PERFECT for our family event! Everything was clean. The owners had everything we needed to have a great stay. There was Kayaks, a canoe and pedal boat at the dock to enjoy water sports. Games, cards, air hockey, pool table, Foosball and ping pong to name a few indoor ideas. The firepit and hot tub were perfect to relax in and by. The house is fully stocked with all supplies needed to make it feel like you haven't left your house. And the cupboards are labeled well so you don't have to guess where everything is. Correspondence with the owner was fabulous. I would rate this place 6 out of 5 stars if I could. I totally recommend staying here!
