Boathouse/Beach
Our boathouse is really the hallmark of this property. Perfect for family reunions, corporate retreats, or just to play some poker with “the boys,” the Boathouse, in true style, sits well out over the lake. You can even fish right from the outdoor deck area.
Travel down the stairs from the party room and find yourself merged in the lake life. Inside the bottom of the boathouse are mini-ponotoons that are docked and ready to go. Here you will also find a sandy beach area with a great sandy swimming area for kids, bordered by spacious piers.
