The fire pit out back by the dock is the heart of the evening here. Picture the whole group gathered around the flames with the tree line silhouetted against the night sky. Fire up the charcoal grill for a cookout lunch, then let the afternoon stretch out the way vacation evenings should.

The driveway is paved and gravel with steep and narrow sections - 4-wheel drive is strongly recommended, especially in winter or wet conditions. Road salt and a snow shovel are available on-site during winter months. Parking accommodates up to 3 standard vehicles plus RV parking. Self-check-in details will be provided before your arrival, and your host is available if you need anything during your stay.
