Hi there! We’re just regular folks—partners, parents, and full-time professionals—who cherish the life we’ve built together with our family and friends. But every now and then, we need time away, and when we do, we head straight to the lake or lodge!
For us, the lake & lodge are more than just destinations—they are havens for connection, relaxation, and adventure. Whether it’s a quiet weekend escape for the two of us, a lively getaway with friends, or a family trip filled with boating or hiking and board games or euchre tournaments, we never fail to create unforgettable memories.
Guy: The captain of our crew. Growing up on the water, he knows his way around a boat and loves the thrill of speed (even if the kids are on the fence about his tubing adventures!).
Lauren: The bookworm of the bunch. You’ll usually find her with a book in hand, but she will step away to make a meal, apply sunscreen, challenge you to euchre, or tackle a jigsaw puzzle.
We’re thrilled to share "our" beloved lake and woods with you, and we hope your stay is filled with laughter, relaxation, and cherished moments—on the water, in the woods and around the family table.
At Lake and Lodge, we believe the best memories are made when we take a break from the everyday and embrace the beauty of nature. For years, we’ve cherished lakeside mornings and starlit nights in the woods with family and friends.
Now, we’re thrilled to share those experiences with you through our handpicked vacation rentals. Each property reflects our love for creating welcoming spaces where you can relax, explore, and reconnect. From the shores of Norris Lake to the wooded trails of Hocking Hills, we invite you to discover your home away from home.
Welcome to your retreat! Guy & Lauren
