Our extended family of 6 adults and two children all enjoyed our stay at Eric's Lake Sylvia Lodge. We had plenty of space to either be together or spread out. The lake views were beautiful. We enjoyed watching and hearing a family of loons. A special memory is of a juvenile loon diving under the canoe and swimming underwater alongside us for quite a ways. The dock was very sturdy and the stairs leading to the shallow water were helpful with the two little grandchildren. Nice swimming area and also some little fish were caught off the deck. Water shoes would be a good idea since there are some zebra mussels on some of the lake bottom rocks. There's a nice area for a campfire, but you'll need to bring your own firewood. We all enjoyed the screened porch. Everyone agreed that we'd like to go back again sometime.
