One Word- WOW! We stayed at the lodge to celebrate my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary. (21 people in our party) Could not have had a better time. This place is not only gorgeous, it's just breath-taking. We want to go back in September. Kayaking on that river in the fall is something I must see. Doug, the caretaker, is helpful & kind. He was always on hand for anything you needed. Cindy Harrison, Midland, Michigan (Jeharris62@hotmail.com) 1-989-839-5795

Thank you Mark and Family for an absolutely wonderful, restful vacation, in your beautiful riverside lodge. We thank you for sharing your kayaks and tubes with us, and also for sharing Doug with us. He was so very instrumental in making this vacation wonderful. He instructed us in all we needed to know to kayak, rent canoes, in and out priviledges, etc. His stories and history lessons of the area also made our stay more meaningful. We didn't ever feel the need to leave.. we enjoyed the river and the lodge, and cabin completely. My mom couldn't get over the beautiful decor, and unique knick knacks. I absolutely loved your wood floors. The quiet and isolation was just what we needed, and the weather was divine.. After our Houston heat. I would recommend this location and lodge to anyone. It was especially perfect for a family reunion. We were worried about only 2 and 1/2 baths,, and even that did not turn out to be a problem. Thank you for your hospitality. Ann Piazza, Houston, TX

At any given time throughout our week's stay, we had up to 18 people staying at the lodge with a good mix of older and middle-aged adults, young adults, teens and elementary-aged kids. We had plenty of room and spaces for all with much to do. Plus the lodge is absolutely beautiful! We all enjoyed the special touches inside and out. We especially appreciated Doug! He was great - giving us tips for kayaking/tubing (ie access points), providing a wagon ride powered by an ATV, a history lesson or two, etc. His attention to our every need was awesome. Our whole family had a great time together and we also really appreciated the kitchen and all of the comforts of home and then some. Meal time was incredible. The scenary was also gorgeous and we think you have a great spot on the Pine River. Thanks for a memorable family vacation! Amy Oliver, Kalamazoo, MI

We had a wonderful time at your beautiful cabin. The setting was gorgeous and secluded and the house was stunning. One of my favorite little decorating touches was the pump faucet in the powder bath! Having the cabin stocked with essentials like paper goods and bug spray was an added luxury. You have done a great job to make your cabin very homey and a comfortable fun place to vacation. I think my favorite part (and the kids’ favorite) was the kayaking and tubing. The river was peaceful and refreshing. Doug was wonderful, taking his time to help us learn the river, change the ball on my truck so that we could haul the equipment with his trailer, and helping us to rent canoes and more tubes. And taking all of us on a hay ride was icing on the cake! The kitchen was well stocked and did a great job of accommodating a pretty big crowd…lots of big pots, serving stuff, etc! I recommend it to anyone! Aleece Spalding, Cary, NC

What can I say that all the other reviews didn't already? On a scale of 1-10...Ease of doing buisness with owner is an 11, Doug the caretaker was a 12, The house was a 13, Ammenities were only a 10.5 LOL...my only complaint would be they didn't force us to stay longer. It was for my mom's birthday and us 7 kids and families...18 in all and we were more than comfortable. If you are on the fence about where to rent and are searching the internet I would error to Edgetts Lodge. I have rented many places from Costa Rica to Cabo to Steamboat, CO and this was by far the best overall experience I have had hands down.

As I first stepped into the Lodge, the only word that came to mind was breathtaking. Amazing views from the great room, spectacular kitchen, wonderful decor and very spacious throughout the Lodge. Our group had a fantastic time and talk already of returning again. Mark and his son were very kind and helpful. Thanks for the assistance with the kayaking, starting the fire and obtaining directions for us late at night :)Everything we needed was on site and didn't even entertain the thought of venturing out to a neighboring town. All in all the entire stay from beginning to end was a 10! My only regret is that our stay was only 3 days..I easily could have enjoyed an entire week. Thanks Mark!

Mark, this place was a great place to get away and relax. No bustle of the city outside the door, but the city is still close enough to run to if necessary. Very nice with views of Pine River and wildlife including deer, small animals and birds including a Bald Eagle. Totally Cool.

The calm and peaceful nature of the pines that surround the lodge coupled with overlooking the river with a hot cup of coffee made our vacation a "10". We applaud the fine craftsmenship of the builder, and I loved cooking in the kitchen.Book us for the same time next year. Thanks ,Mark and Mary keegan
