This is our second time staying here as a family of 30. We have been reuniting every 18 months for 30 years. This is the first destination we have chose the second stay at.There was a lot of maintenance going on there every day (outdoor lighting that took over 7 hrs, pump repair, etc), and we do have some "stranger danger" family members that were not happy about that at all. In addition to "outsiders" having access while we were there, at times their machinery noise woke napping toddlers.Overall, we loved being there. The home and grounds are amazing!

酒店回复: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing our property for your family’s special reunion—not once, but twice! We’re thrilled to hear that this is the first destination you’ve selected for a repeat stay in 30 years of gatherings, and that you and your group of 30 loved the home and grounds overall. It’s always rewarding to know we’ve created a space where families can create lasting memories. Keeping the grounds and house in tip-top shape when it is used every week by family groups of 30-40 people requires a Herculean amount of work and maintenence. The work required to keep the house and grounds lovely under that kind of use, is never ending! However, that’s the last thing we want you to think about during your vacation, and we really try to manage it in ways that won’t impact our guests. We truly appreciate you highlighting the maintenance concerns from your vantage point, as it helps us continue improving the guest experience. The work mentioned was indeed outdoors, focused on enhancing the property’s safety and enjoyment. The new lighting system is being designed by a reputable professional to make evenings feel even more secure and inviting on our expansive, wooded grounds. We had anticipated a shorter visit for measurements, but we apologize again for the unexpected full-day installation and any disruption it caused. The well pump repair was an urgent, unforeseen issue to ensure uninterrupted water access for your group’s cooking, showers, and daily needs. We do not have city water. The fact that you did not experience an interruption is only because we have cisterns that hold a couple days worth of water in the case of a pump failure. But fixing it was urgent. Rest assured, no workers ever have access to your private door code, which each family selects for added peace of mind and security.We understand that with a large group including little ones and those sensitive to “stranger danger,” unexpected activity and noise outside can be unsettling, and for that we are very sorry. Your input is invaluable, and we’ll use it to better communicate and schedule such essential tasks in the future to minimize any impact.It would be a pleasure to welcome your family back for a third reunion. We love hosting our many “regulars”. We are constantly working to make improvements so that each stay is better than the last.

Lovely family vacation
Northern Idaho was delightful ànd Carrie's property was pristine. It has everything we needed and more.
There were 29 in our extended family, ages 6 to 84 We went biking on the Hiawatha trail, hiking at Tubbs park and kayaking at Farragut State park. We went to the Saturday market in Heybern.

Great Property
We are a large family group and found this property that would accommodate us all. The kitchen was amazing so we were able to feed, refrigerate, cook and cleanup quickly. The 2 minute dishwasher was terrific!!!
All the bedrooms and cabins were nicely decorated and more than enough bathrooms for our large group.
Outside was great for games and gatherings.
Owners were very responsive and could be quickly contacted.
We enjoyed our time at this beautiful venue.
Thank You

LOVED OUR STAY!!!!
Our family held a week-long family reunion at the Cider Mountain lodge with 32 people (of all age ranges) in early June.
The venue was perfect for our family. The commercial kitchen is well stocked and intimidating (in a good way) and there was plenty of space for the family around the lodge for us to spread out and enjoy each others company without feeling too cramped.
Corrie and Chris (the owners) went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.
The venue was a great value and we'd definitely stay there again.

Perfect for our family reunion
The house and cabins are clean and comfortable. The industrial kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pans and cooking utensils to feed a crowd. There are nice large gathering spaces indoors and out and a beautiful property. Large lawn for games, beautiful forest and meadows and wild flowers everywhere. We had a wonderful time. Chris and Corrie were great hosts

Excellent Location for a Leadership Retreat
We held our annual Parent Leadership Development Institute here, and it was a perfect setting for our group. The main house had two indoor locations for us to provide presentations - the theater room and the main living room area. The dining room and breakfast bar area was super for our large group of twelve people. The cabins and grounds were absolutely wonderful for outdoor activities. And the kitchen...the KITCHEN was a dream. Everyone of us would like a commercial dishwasher in our own homes now! We had a fantastic time and we highly recommend!

Amazing venue for a family reunion
Our family (35 in all) gathered to celebrate my mom’s 72nd birthday. We had a fabulous time! There was plenty of outdoor space for the little kids to explore, a large lawn for the volleyball net that my brother brought and even space for two cornhole games.
Corey was so accommodating! She allowed the caterers, who showed up an hour before check-in time, to get setup. She checked in a few different times to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. And when the dishwasher stopped working on Sunday morning, she responded right away. Fortunately, her guard was able to get it working.
This place is set up for entertaining and gathering, all in a beautiful location. We would recommend this place to any of our friends or family.

Family birthday celebration/Family Reunion
This property was absolutely PERFECT for our family gathering!! We had 18 adults and 4 kids, ranging in ages 3 months to 6 years old. We had lots of space for all of us to spread out, families had their own rooms/cabins with their own bathrooms.. Lots of areas to gather as a whole group, eat together, play games, etc. and yet we all had our space to have some quiet time/ take naps, etc. The owners have everything you will need provided ~ they have thought of everything!! It's so comfortable and very tastefully decorated. Very clean with comfortable bed and furniture throughout. I can't say enough about the commercial kitchen! It is amazing!! We took turns cooking meals and I found myself hanging out in the kitchen just so I could help clean up and use the dishwasher! Very well supplied kitchen, for sure! The outdoor space is great too. A large patio to gather and barbeque if you want. A couple of us performed a dance on the stage, we took walks on the country road, it was just a magical place! You feel like you are way out in the country in the woods, it's so quiet and peaceful but it's only a short drive into the town of Athol. My entire family agreed that this was the perfect place for our special gathering. We will make it a priority to gather here again! The hosts were great ~ very attentive when we needed them for questions, but not intrusive! The host/owners are excellent ~ they know what their guests need and how to treat them.
