We have an outdoor game area set up to enjoy a round of corn hole while catching a view of the Lake! Our cabins are more for getting outdoors not so much for movie watching as we have limited internet and zero cable available here:)
Sit on the front porch and enjoy the birds singing and build a campfire at night! Swimming is at your own risk. You are welcome to use the chairs on the bluff and watch the beautiful sunsets! Adult guests can access our shared outdoor hot tub!
New fishing dock available to all our guests! Great spot for some of the best fishing on the lake or to tie up floats and swim! It is a walk down to the lake on a narrow foot path!
The Tinyhouse Cabin is perfect for romantic getaways. What makes it unique is the compact luxury/roughness. Come see to understand. It is ideal for couples, but can accommodate a small family. It is a small space for more than 2 adults. Due to the nature of our construction and owner having severe skin allergies we have a strict no pet policy! We do all the laundry an cleaning ourselves and CANNOT accommodate animals of any kind. Please respect our health and do not ask for exceptions.
