Self-catering Shawnee Springs Lodge is a cozy mountain vacation rental home that was completely remodeled in 2000. It consists of 5 bedrooms and 4 baths all on one level. It has wood ceilings and floors, a fully equipped country kitchen, a lovely front porch for dining or relaxing, a large common area stocked with videos, games, music and books, and a full walkout basement. The water for the lodge is naturally spring fed and delicious! All rooms have separate heat for the wintertime, and the cool mountain air and ceiling fans will keep you cool in the summer. Guests also have access to our fire ring across the street at the barn. Bring all the fixings for s’mores and your scariest ghost stories! This family vacation rental lodge rents by the week or month.
