We invite you to enjoy the lake air from the back of the cottage or settle in for a quiet evening by the fire-pit, perfect for s’mores in the evening. There are plenty of seating areas for guests to eat outside, sip morning coffee, or enjoy a happy hour drink as the sun goes down.

Enjoy exploring our beautiful resort. Take a dip in the heated pool or lounge under an umbrella poolside. Cruise our wooded trails and find the fairy village or challenge your family and friends to a fun game of basketball, volleyball, or shuffleboard. Explore the open waters with a pontoon or fishing boat rental, take out a free kayak, or drop a line in and fish right of the docks. And if your fishing is fruitful, we have a fish cleaning station to clean your catch for a fresh fish dinner!
