The main cottage includes two queen bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a comfortable living area, a kitchen, a dining space, a washer and dryer, and beautiful lake views.

Outside, guests can enjoy the seasonal dock, shallow sandy swimming area, kayaks, bikes, a large lakefront deck, a grill, a fire pit, and plenty of space to relax by the water. Spend the morning kayaking or swimming, enjoy dinner overlooking the lake, and finish the evening around the fire.
Modern conveniences make longer stays easy, including gig-speed Wi-Fi, multiple living spaces, air conditioning and heat in both buildings, washer and dryer, Smart TVs, and on-site Level 2 EV charging. A 50-amp connection near the bunkhouse and an additional 30-amp connection near the parking area also provide convenient options for EV or RV use.
