Cabins are located in an area together but staggered to provide privacy from each other. They have an excellent view of the lake and are within walking distance of the beach and swimming area.
Six of our cabins sleep four with a full-sized bed and a set of bunk beds, heating and air-conditioning, table and chairs, shower and toilet, a dorm-room sized refrigerator, a microwave, toaster and coffee pot. These cabins have a screened-in porch, a patio with a charcoal grill provided, picnic table, fire ring, outside water hydrant and exterior electrical outlet.
