The Heart of Summer Lives at Walcox Point
Some places just feel like summer. The sounds of kids laughing from the dock, the glow of a late sunset, the smell of burgers on the grill, and the rhythm of a day spent entirely outside. There’s something about being at the lake—away from the noise and everyday distractions—that naturally creates space for connection.
At Walcox Point, we’ve seen those fleeting moments turn into lasting traditions—year after year, family after family. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, laughter lingers, and the people you love most gather not just to catch up, but to truly be together.
Whether it’s a once-a-year reunion or the beginning of a new tradition, The Lodge at Walcox Point was designed for moments that matter. It’s where morning coffee comes with a view, cousins turn into best friends, and long dinners stretch into the night—filled with stories, second helpings, and memories that last well beyond summer.
A House Built for Togetherness
Hosting a family reunion doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—especially when the house does half the work for you. The Lodge at Walcox Point is made for moments like this, with room to sleep up to 18 and a layout that keeps everyone connected without feeling crowded.
Start by giving Grandma and Grandpa the quiet bedroom downstairs, tucked away for peaceful mornings and early nights. The little cousins? They’ll be thrilled with the bunk room, where every night feels like a sleepover and every morning starts with giggles.
The teenagers can claim the upstairs rooms, perfect for a little privacy and space to recharge (with strong Wi-Fi, of course). Parents with young kids can settle into the bigger upstairs bedroom with plenty of room for a pack-and-play, extra suitcases, or early bedtime routines.
And then there’s the heart of it all—the oversized open living space where everyone naturally gathers. Whether it’s morning coffee on the couch, card games at the table, or movie night sprawled out in front of the TV, this space was designed to hold the whole crew. And yes, that giant sectional really does fit everyone.
At Walcox Point, every family member has a space that suits them—but it’s the together time that makes it special.
