Beautiful Family Reunion Site
The facility is IDEAL for a family reunion! We had ages 4-90 on the property and it was comfortable for all. Kids played outside or in the pond or on the playground. Adults visited on the porch or in the living room. The kitchen is a perfect setup to entertain with a large center island for serving and a table that seats 14. Beautiful venue.

Games Galore
Year 27 of college friends gathering for some focused tournament style card games and table top games. This is a great central location to all involved, in a nice natural setting, but near enough Kirksville for food and such. Kitchen, dining, and living area is large, with the additional play room being great bonus space. Pond with beach and surrounding nature was beautifully arranged and kept, making for relaxing walks during breaks. Well suited for our needs. Expect a repeat!

Understanding Large Gatherings
The Lodge was just as represented. Very clean, well organized, and for those with children in a wide range of ages plenty for all to stay occupied. Most of all, the hosts are generous in every aspect of planning. The bedrooms have all that is needed for space, great to have queen beds in each and so wonderful that each have their own bathroom. There are plenty of extra paper products, Kleenexes in each room, blankets, pillows and towels, even a couple of hair dryers. The kitchen has everything you may need; crockpots, fry pan, electric griddle, toaster, 2 coffee pots, blender, hand mixer, plenty of serving trays, pitchers and drawers full of serving and kitchen utensils. Games, books, cards, and many things to play with for the REC room. They also have many folding tables and chairs for groups to gather to eat or play games, in addition to the beautiful long table with 14 chairs! The only suggestion for improvement would be check-out time a bit later. Connecting over breakfast and coffee before departing was a bit rushed; with the size of lodge and the amount of people to start the day together, breakfast, pack, clean, double and triple check that all was left in good condition and enjoy the process together 10 am comes so quickly. However, this would not stop us from booking again, the Lost Branch Lodge offers a wonderful place to slow down and connect. Thank you!!

Family trip
We stayed at Lost Branch Lodge for our 9th Family Trip, and everyone voted this our favorite place so far. The lodge was so organized and clean. The host thought of everything to make our stay easy, convenient, fun, and relaxing. It is such a beautiful place, and our grandchildren absolutely loved the pond, sand beach, fishing, swimming, and canoeing. Perfect spot for our family to reconnect!

This spacious lodge has been our family's choice for our annual reunion for several years. Each year the owners seem to add more improvements that enhance our stay. Our grandchildren love the pond. The lodge is always clean and well maintained.

Great outdoor retreat
We have been coming here for four years now and enjoy the laid back escape from life’s busyness. The updates that have been done are beautiful and the space fits our extended family well. We love the small pond with beach located at the property for swimming with all ages and those that like to fish can do so on the far side of the pond. The only drawback is if you are looking for activities other than outdoorsy things there isn’t very much available in Kirksville. We have done the axe throwing and the escape room. We enjoy spending time at Thousand Hills State park where we can use boats and there is a beach there as well.

Wonderful weekend getaway!
We LOVED this property! It was perfect for our annual Non-Family Reunion. We had a total of 20 people (adults & kids included) There were plenty of beds for everyone with some extra! The fact that each room has its own bathroom is a major plus with this many people involved. We adored the kitchen. It was stocked with everything we needed, plus its gorgeous! The long island and huge dining table made the kitchen our gathering place and we didnt have to cram into a small space to eat. The children spent the weekend swimming in the pond, which is extremely nice and clean. The dock and beach are a wonderful addition. We went on a couple rides around the pond in the canoe, even caught a couple fish (released back into the pond of course). The rec room is HUGE. The adults enjoyed playing pool and the kids had a huge place inside to play. The outside is also accommodated with a playground and lots of room to run and play. We brought the kids bikes and they had plenty of room to ride and enjoy themselves. We sat around the fire pit every night! The lights along the porch make for a great vibe. With the huge wide open sky, you can see the stars. We had an awesome experience. I would 10/10 recommend this property.
