Jim and all the staff at Lake Godstone were incredible. Our students had a wonderful stay at the lodge and enjoyed many of the available activities and sites. Jim was very generous in offering us more space and activities that we hadn't paid for. Overall it was a wonderful visit.

Beautiful location and lodge.

We really enjoyed the lodge, fishing and swimming. The lodge is perfectly set up to accommodate large groups. The lake is not quite be enough for wake boarding, skiing or other off the back of the boat type of sports. Some of the guest mentioned that they were a little uncomfortable with the amount of cameras located in and around the house.

Amazing ranch, amazing host

Marluc Bella Vita is a gem! We had an amazing time at the ranch over the Easter weekend. There is so much space to roam around and so much to do. The kids enjoyed fishing, kayaking, playing sports and just exploring the place. The lodge is a lot more spacious than it seems in the photos, perfectly designed for large groups. All the structures are In excellent shape, well built, solid and comfortable and sparkly clean. The kitchen is very well stocked. Jim is very considerate, generous, quick to help, and easy to work with. He is also one of the most interesting hosts that I ever interacted with. We can see there is a lot love and care that went into building this ranch. And it still has so much potential to grow. We are already planning our next trip!

Awesome location near Rocker B - baseball teams

Our team really loved our time at the ranch - heads up to everyone though. The long gravel road into the ranch (over 4 miles of county roads) has several winding turns, isn’t properly lit at night and doesn’t have any road signs to indicate some potentially hazardous conditions. One of the parents had a nasty car wreck and his car was totaled at a small bridge location about 1/4 of the way to the ranch on the gravel road. I want to be clear that this isn’t the fault of the ranch - the county should really alert drivers to this danger. Oh - lots of wild animals on the roads as well - we almost hit two wild boars. Be Safe!!! The ranch was absolutely perfect for our weekend baseball event.

Perfect for our family reunion

Our family has been doing a weekend family reunion annually for 4 yrs. Every year we've been to a different place trying to find that perfect one. This was it! Not only is the home and property big enough to accommodate a lot people, there are many other options of places to stay right there on the same property. One of my boys rented a small house there on the property and another one rented an RV there. This property has so much growth potential as our family continues to grow. Jim welcomed us upon arrival and showed us around the property. He was an excellent host! Lots of helpful information and quickly answered questions I had prior to arrival. The ages of our family that attended for this weekend ranged from 4months to 84 yrs! Literally everyone had something to do there. From visiting, to hiking, fishing, swimming, making smores, cooking in or outdoors... so much fun! There was only one thing I would change if I could about this place and that is for it to have a master bedroom with a king bed and attached bathroom for my elderly parents. We made it work for the weekend though, and it worked out. Thanks so much for the most memorable family weekend reunion to date Jim! I have no doubt we'll be back :)

Peaceful Paradise

We were able to get a tour of the entire property and everything was so thought out and beautiful and well made. We had the absolute best time. I don't think the kids were out of the water the whole weekend. There was so much to do and yet so much rest we were able to get. We are definitely going to book again.
