Our stay could not have been better. The accommodations were 5 star. The kids & grandkids could not say enough of all the activities that were on hand.

We just had a spectacular family reunion here. There were 26 of us ranging from age 74 to 3 months. The game room and indoor basketball court were real hits with both the kids & adults.

We were thrilled to have our cousin reunion at Laughing Bear Lodge in September 2016! Beautiful home, spacious, everything we could have asked for. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! Thank you!

We had a group of 27 from ages 4 months to 81 and we all had a great time. There was so much for the kids to do in the basement, they were never bored. They thought of everything!

We enjoyed our time at LBL. My girls especially loved playing the creek.

We had a fantastic time at the Lodge. So much so, that we might be back next year! And, possibly, add another day to the stay.
