The lower level can also be accessed by driving around to the basement entrance. While there is a dock for your enjoyment, boats are not allowed to be docked there overnight.

Reviews

Olivia

January 2026

I liked the large amount of space and the place had most of the basics. There were quite a few things that were annoying about the place. These were all relatively minor but for the higher cost, shouldn’t have been an issue. The coffee maker was broken (spent an hour trying to figure out how to use it - in the end it was faulty), the light on the fridge was out (didn’t know if it was working!), no trash can or trash bags in the kitchen or anywhere else, the tv remote was missing (found it the next morning in the couch?), the light switches were hard to find and many of the outlets had glued down baby protectors, which made the outlets completely useless, the bed I slept in was very squeaky, and the hot tub and lake both weren’t very close… this was fine except we couldn’t find the path! Once we found the hot tub and turned on the lights around the patio, the tub was set at 95 and didn’t warm up even one degree in the hour we sat there. There were a few other annoyances but it had everything we needed with nice hosts. All in all I’d stay here again but not if I’m footing the bill.
