ABOUT THE 'CUB HOUSE'
While the Cub House is also great for adult guests it is specifically designed for the Cubs. The bunkhouse does not have a bathroom but is insulated and fully climate controlled. Featuring a full size Murphy bed in the back and a queen/twin in the front it is large enough for a family or a whole pack of Cubs. Challenge a sibling to a 1-on-1 battle at the arcade, try out the old school Nintendo games, play card games at the bar, or watch a Disney movie on the VHS. Your kids will get a taste of your childhood in the Cub House!
For those who love the outdoors, this property is a dream come true. With a dock featuring gradual steps and space to tie up one boat, water enthusiasts will have easy access to the lake for a day of fun in the sun. And after a day of adventure, enjoy a barbecue on the gas grill while taking in the serene lake views from the deck.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.
