Relax with the whole family at your own private retreat. The park like gated property features an expansive outdoor living space, a fire pit, 3/4 acre stocked pond for swimming, fishing, and more.Inside you'll enjoy the spacious, light filled great room, abundant windows, & the relaxing sound of water from almost every room! A total of four king beds, 6 queen beds, and 4.5 baths means there’s room for everyone. Close to Mohican State Park, Malabar State Park, Snow Trails, & Amish country.

We do not live on site but we are nearby and are available if needed.

The Lodge on 687 is located on 8 gorgeous acres. Your private nature retreat is located within a fenced property with a 3/4 acre stocked pond. While the property is rural it is within minutes of Loudonville, a quaint town with many options such as boutique shopping, restaurants, canoeing, an aerial park, go carts, mini golf, and more! Mohican State Park, Malabar Farm, Snow Trails, and Amish country are within a beautiful and short drive from the Lodge making for unlimited fun day trips.

The drive and all parking areas are cement but the drive is long and does include some incline. During the winter months (December 1st-April 1st), it is advised that all renters should have a vehicle equipped with either four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) to access the property. This requirement is essential for ensuring safe and reliable transportation to and from the rental property, especially during periods of inclement weather such as snow, ice, or other hazardous conditions.

Large rooms, open floor plan, and tons of windows that open onto your own private deck and gardens and pond make this a nature lover's heaven. With over 4,000sf The Lodge features plenty of room for everyone to sleep with four king beds and six queens as well as multiple living spaces inside and out that offer plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. Whether you're fishing in the pond, playing pool in the basement, or playing games by the fire- there's something for everyone!

This is a rural property. We are within easy driving distance from Mohican State Park, Malabar Farm, Snow Trails Ski Lodge, Amish country, and more.

While children and families are welcome at the Lodge on 687 the property is not childproof. There is a natural body of water on the property.

Family Lodge Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend with our family at The Lodge! Plenty of room to hang out together and space to be alone, too. The pond was so fun and s’mores by the fire were such a treat!

Friends reunion

Every year over the past 20 years my HS and College friends get together. We all agreed that this was one of the best properties we have stayed at. The host was easy to communicate with and was very responsive to our questions. The house is sprawling with enough space for everyone. Everything was set up for us to relax and have fun. The game room was great and the seating was top notch. Every room was clean and comfortable. The host definitely takes pride in their property. We will definitely be back again!! Greg

Fantastic Stay

Lodge was perfect location and size for 11 adults meeting up for class reunion. Great attention to detail & every need accounted for. Game room in garage, large gathering room and a dining table where everyone had a place were the highlights. We all said - we can do THIS again! Thanks, JJ for helping us continue to make memories after all our years together.

Perfect spot for a family get-together

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Lodge. Fishing in the pond and floating on the pond, S’mores toasted over the fire (S’mores supplies provided by the hosts as well as a delicious Peach Pie)- all of these made our stay a time to remember. It was comforting to know that we could contact our hosts with any questions we might have. We would recommend this property to anyone interested in an enjoyable get-together with family or friends.

Peaceful Retreat

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The house is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, well appointed, and the grounds were spectacular. The location is perfect for hiking at Mohican and is private and quiet. Our group particularly loved the large great room and dining room that easily accommodated all 16 of us while also having so many little nooks for individuals to relax, read and reflect.

Sold Gold

This was a perfect location for celebrating our 50th anniversary with our family. The kids fished and swam all day every day. We loved sitting around the fire pit as a group and talking and reminiscing. I especially liked all the quiet places on the property where you can just sit and enjoy nature. I highly recommend this place for any group.

About the host

Hosted by Jodi L Burgholder

Host profile image
We're Jason & Jodi!
We're the husband and wife team behind The Lodge on 687. He's the builder/ handyman, an engineer to be exact. I'm the artist/host who is behind all the finishing touches that will make the Lodge feel like home!

Together we love creating spaces where you can enjoy building connections and making memories with your favorite people.

We want you to spread out and enjoy every inch of the Lodge and it's beautiful property. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

Large rooms, open floor plan, and tons of windows that open onto your own private deck and gardens make the Lodge a nature lover's heaven.

As soon as you enter the enclosed front porch filled with a porch swing conversation area you'll know you're in the right spot!

Continue on into the dining room with a custom made oak table that seats 16 and make yourself at home at the fully stocked coffee bar.

The eat in kitchen features a custom island that seats six, tons of storage, and new appliances. A fully stocked kitchen make it easy to get a meal for your people! In addition to the fully stocked kitchen you'll also find a Blackstone griddle/grill that makes it easy to feed a crowd!

Enter the great room and you'll know why this home is so special. Soaring ceilings, exposed beams, wall to wall windows, a massive stone fireplace, and plenty of room for your whole gang make this a room you'll want to hang out in all day and night! This room also has a 70 inch smart tv to watch the big game or a special movie night.

Inside living space blends seamlessly into outside living as the great room opens up to the spacious deck overlooking the pond and fire pit on one side and the koi pond and waterfalls on the other. The sound of running water fills the house! There are plenty of spots to relax and make memories!

While there are no steep hills and the entire driveway is cement there may be times during the winter months that a four wheel drive vehicle is needed.

What makes this property unique

One thing that makes this property so special is the way it blends indoor and outdoor living. There are just as many outdoor spots to explore or just hang out and relax. The spacious deck overlooks the fire pit and the pond. There is plenty of seating for eating and relaxing.

Walk down the steps to the fire pit and Adirondack chairs for a little s'more making and campfire time. Fish for bluegill, catfish, and bass in the stocked pond or grab a provided lifejacket and take the little row boat for a spin.

Explore the woods, play in the creek, and enjoy all the area has to offer knowing you have a great place to come home to!
