Log Inn on Madison Lake. Multi generation. Corporate retreat for team building

Wheel chair accessible. Perfect for a multi generation Families to make unforgettable memories. Ideal for corporate team building! Unique 1880s log home tucked inside a two-story colonial home with old Vermont character and charm. Surrounded with native plants, trees and three small bridges over little ponds and creeks. With over 583 lineal feet of Lakeshore, 405 lineal feet of small creek and 1100 acres of Madison Lake (deepest hole at 60 feet with lots of walleye structure). Every family member can find their own special niche with three docks. You can bring your own water craft or rent locally whatever is your preference. Or just enjoy fishing from the shore!! Lots of off the street parking for all your water toys!

In addition each unit has drying racks for life jackets, area for tackle boxes and small motors. Just bring your own padlock for security if you like.

No need to worry about firewood as we will have available near your fire pit under the tarp. We have corn hole, horseshoes, bocce, volleyball, lawn darts, ladder toss for outdoor games.

Our Kitchen is well supplied: We have service for 40! Dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, coffee mugs, and for the young at heart - plastic cups, bowls, trays etc! Utensils, steak knives, Cuisinart Advantage 12 piece knife set. BBQ utensils, numerous cooking and serving utensils, wine & can opener, blender, hand mixer and much more!

Fun Family Weekend

Great stay for an extended family (approx. 20 people). Layout is great. Lovely, self-made house. Interesting architectural juxtapositions. Love the artwork. House is clean in the ways that matter (clean beds, bathrooms, etc.) Some long-term maintenance (clean walls, matching light bulbs) are less so. Great property with super-interesting paths, water channels, bridges, etc... Vegetation obstructed lake view, which is great for wildlife, but less scenic for those who'd love to sit on the deck and watch the waves. Host is friendly and responsive. Lots of parking.

Grooms Dinner and Hosting

A fabulous place to host our grooms dinner as we got married at Ahavah Cottage! The venue only lets you have an hour so having a place to gather afterwards that was close and large enough to host a catered meal was important. Plenty of rooms, very large kitchen and everyone was pleased! Plus, how sweet to leave treats, wine, and a note for us! Our only note is that a little later checkout would have been nice, but not that big of a deal.

Family getaway

We enjoyed our stay. Manager was very friendly. A very fun place to stay. Three families 72-3 yrs old. Ice fishing was very good. So many rooms and bathrooms made for good sleeping and privacy. We enjoyed looking at the art work and details about the log cabin, which is part of the house. Great place for families. Thank you

Extended Family Holiday

Property was roomy & clean & well laid out for our group - beds were comfortable. Our host was attentive and welcoming - the lack of snow in December put a damper on our outdoor plans, but there was plenty of other things to do in the area. A great spot for our large group of grandkids, adults kids, teens & adults - game room was a great space & we made a lot of food in the kitchen!

We had the best stay this past weekend. Dorothy was great at communicating with us. She was there to greet us upon check in to show us around the property. The house was beautiful, and perfect for our girl's weekend. There were so many little personal touched throughout the house that made the stay even better. We would all stay there again, it was a fantastic experience.

retirement weekend

The entire family was able to come together to celebrate grandpa's retirement. Each family had there own room with the cousins staying in the Cousin Room (a bit exciting the first night but much better the second night when they were less excited and more tired). It was a treat to all be together in one place.

Family Friendly

Very family friendly from babies to adult. Plenty of space for a large group of people to stay. Owner and manager very friendly and helpful!! Would note the docks could be sturdier and made kid friendly. The outside of the home needed cleaning and some TLC. Overall we had a great stay and would return.
