TO NOTE:

*You must have four wheel drive if staying at the cabin in the winter months. We are located at the end of a private gravel road. Our road and driveway will be plowed for you.

*Our cabin’s main source of heat is a wood burning stove. When renting September through June, please be prepared to supplement the cabin’s fuel oil heat with making, and maintaining, a fire as your main source of heat. Firewood will be provided.

*Two-twin loft only accessible by a ladder. Most often used by children or teens.

*The Cabin has two security cameras outside. One on garage facing the road and driveway entry, and one on the back of main house facing the lake. These cameras are used strictly for security and liability purposes and in no way will infringe on our guest's privacy.
