Rave Reviews
"We had such a wonderful stay at the Ridge and Yonder Lodge. Our family truly enjoyed our time there and were able to fully unplug and spend some much-needed quality time together. The lodge provided a peaceful and quiet environment, which was exactly what we were looking for.
We especially loved the spaciousness of the lodge and how perfectly decorated each room was. We had a great time trying to play darts, even if none of us were particularly good at it, leading to lots of laughter! Taking advantage of the hot tub and the upper deck during our stay was also a huge plus. The resort amenities were a fantastic addition to an already beautiful property, making our experience even more enjoyable. The communication from the host was amazing throughout our stay, and we really appreciated how responsive and helpful Brad was. We can't wait to go back for another visit!"
