We had an absolutely incredible time in this home! It was clean, comfortable and nicely updated. Our two toddlers loved all the toys as well as the playset, and the adults loved the bikes, kayaks and tubes to enjoy the rail trail and creek with. We can't wait to come back next year!

Great time on Pine Creek

Very nice family vacation on Pine Creek. Otter Lodge was clean, comfortable, and in a great location with easy access to the creek right out the back door. It was awesome to have access to the kayaks. They were easy to get from the rack into the water and back again. During our stay the fishing and paddling were great. Before the creek temps crept up towards 70 (due to the heatwave), we caught many brown and rainbow trout, and smallmouth bass. Dry fly action was full on. Tributary creeks were also good, with water temps staying cooler. Access to the rail trail was good, but not great since you have to walk either way down the road a bit to get to a break in the fence (only an issue if you have a bike that’s not easy to lift over the fence). There is so much to do in the area, particularly if you’re into biking, hiking, paddling and fishing. Or you can just chill on the back deck, in the Adirondack chairs on the patio, or sit your butt right in the creek and enjoy watching the many birds (king fishers, bald eagles, red wing black birds). We hope to be back again soon!

Pine Creek Getaway

Me and my friends do an annual trip up to Pine Creek to fish around Slate Run and the infamous “Stretch” along with other places on Pine and nearby streams. This place fit the bill perfectly! Clean and Quiet. Had everything we needed to relax unwind and have some fun. I highly recommend the property! We will definitely be booking it again.

Return Visit

Enjoyed our second year at Otter Lodge. The fire pit chairs were enjoyed every night around the fire. A wonderful, new addition and so appreciated! Had so much fun tubing the creek and fishing. We hope to make a visit again! Love that you kept the decor in the remodel.

Super Stay at Otter Lodge

Our family had a wonderful visit together at Otter Lodge. Everything was well stocked, very clean, and exactly as described. This is a wonderful house for kids-there are so many toys, games, and outdoor play areas. We loved having the stream out front, enjoyed the tubes, the firepit, and the screened porch. Access to the bike trail was great for walking and riding. I hope we can return for another visit in the future!

Well appointed comfortable home

House was lovely , clean and comfortable . Having kayaks and tubes for us to use was super fun . The fire pit in the evening beautiful. AC and WiFi great we had no issues with that at all. Just two suggestions possibly a later check out even just an hour and the path to the creek needs to be addressed. We are active seniors and that was a challenge and not safe for any ages . I do understand there are regulations regarding what you can do at waters edge, but even a railing would help especially when lugging kayaks and tubes . We had a lovely few days at Otter Lodge .

This is the second year in a row our group rented the Otter Lodge, and we enjoyed this place again. We love the house, view, creek side location, quiet neighborhood, use of boats and bikes, great fireplace, washer/dryer and comfortable beds. We also noticed the new flooring and bathroom updates.

Active but relaxing

Our entire group of very active adults and children ages 2, 7, 8, 9, and 11 loved this property. Productive fishing, tubing, kayaking, biking, hiking and bird watching and toys for the almost 3 year old kept everyone entertained. House is well stocked with movies, games, and toys. A clothes line of some type would be nice to hang wet bathing suits and life jackets, although there is an on site washer and dryer. We loved the house decor!
