Your Private Lakefront Retreat
Step outside and discover why guests love staying here.
Our private dock sits in a quiet, protected cove that’s perfect for:
✔ Swimming
✔ Floating
✔ Fishing
✔ Launching kayaks
✔ Paddleboarding
✔ Relaxing by the water
The water around the dock is typically around 5 feet deep in the summer months, making it excellent for swimming and floating, but we do not recommend jumping or diving from the dock.
Don’t forget to bring:
Fishing poles
Kayaks
Paddleboards
Hammocks
There’s no better way to spend the afternoon than paddling around the peaceful cove or relaxing in a hammock beneath the trees while listening to the sounds of the lake.
As evening arrives, gather around the fire pit, roast marshmallows, share stories, and watch the stars appear overhead.
These are the moments families remember.
