Amazing summer camp vibes
Huge space with lots of tables, beds, industrial kitchen snd s wall in fridge. We had just 13 people and we were able to spread out and enjoy the space. Beds are no frills, but that was to be expected. Highly recommend for a group that wants great access to nature, an amazing lake, and a big common area to hang out!

Great lodge - like a return to summer camp!
Perfect location for our 3- generation family of 25. Everybody loved the space - plenty of room to spread out for meals/games and sleeping quarters. All the twenty-something grandchildren were thrilled to pile into a bunk room together! Plenty of toilets/showers. Kitchen/serving area and industrial dishwasher made meals super easy. Great outdoor space with the deck and lawn, and enjoyed the lake and the kayaks/canoes. Hosts were super helpful and easy to communicate with. Upstairs rooms a little warm on the first night but lots of fans provided and definitely cooled off overnight with windows all opened up. This place was a huge hit for the whole family! Can’t wait to return next year!

Great property with plenty of space for big groups and families. The house had everything we needed to our church group of 40 teenagers and young adults. Communication with the property manager was easy and very clear.Breathtaking views and awesome swimming spot at the beautiful lake.We are definitely looking forward to go back there next summer!

Awesome stay
Our family vacation at the lodge was so much more than expected. The people and place were great. We had 30 people, from age two80 and it felt like we still had lots of room. The main room and deck had plenty of space with places to socialize and share meals .The kitchen was very well equipped and the walk-in freezer and commercial dishwasher were perfect for a large group. The canoes and the paddleboard were enjoyed by all, and the water was wonderful.We’ve been doing a family vacation week for over twenty years, and all agreed this was the best one yet.

Stayed here with 40 friends for a birthday party. Everything was fantastic! The place accommodated 40 adults so well. The fireplace was awesome for chilly spring nights, and we loved being able to kayak on the lake.

Fantastic and fun getaway
The cabin is such an amazing stay for a large group. Everything was clean, spacious, and the view from the deck is amazing. The lake is clean and refreshing, and the kitchen has literally everything you need for a long stay. The host also helped us out when the city lost power by dropping off flashlights and headlamps in the dark so that we could continue having fun on our trip. Definitely will be back.

Homerun retreat location
Incredible property on an incredible lake in an incredible area. We had a group of 33 teens and adults stay at Bluewater Lodge. It is a perfect setup for retreats, events, midsize gatherings, etc.
Rustic, cozy, intimate.
I highly recommend this location and the property managers.

Summer Camp
Our church had our first ever summer camp at the Bluewater Lodge! It was incredible and a lot of that is due to the Lodge and our incredible hosts. We had so much fun! Our students did not want to leave.

Great place for team outing
This space is perfect for team building and interacting. The location is beautiful and offers great indoor and outdoor activities. The kitchen is appropriate size to use for cooking and serving 25+ people. We rented linen for a charge of $10 p/p it was very convenient and well organized. I would highly recommend.

Crowd pleaser!
Our group of 30 gathered for a Women’s retreat and found the Bluewater Lodge to suit our needs perfectly! The wrap around deck overlooking the lake was the perfect setting for a Sunday morning service. The oversized living room with gas fireplace and an abundance of seating could accommodate all of us comfortably. It was easy to cook for a crowd in the spacious kitchen with all the necessities. It was even easier to clean up after the crowd with a commercial dishwasher that completes the job in 90 seconds. There’s plenty of actives from the canoes, and board games, fire pit, ping pong and pool table. It’s a perfect setting for friends and family to gather.

Perfect weekend retreat
This was perfect for our grad school class retreat! The canoes and kayaks were so much fun to take out, and the common space was just what we needed for our team building activities. The one thing was that the fridge never got cold - we ended up leaving food outside overnight to avoid it spoiling. Other than that, no snafus!
