Outside is where Dockside Haven truly shines. Spend your days swimming, boating, fishing, paddleboarding, or simply lounging on the large private dock soaking in the sunshine. Guests can explore the water using the provided kayaks or enjoy evenings gathered around the fire pit sharing stories and roasting marshmallows under the stars. The expansive covered patio with outdoor TV creates the perfect game day or movie night setup, while the screened-in porch offers a cozy place to relax no matter the weather. There’s also a ping pong table for friendly competition and endless entertainment for both kids and adults.
