UPDATES BETWEEN 2024 - 2025:
The owners make a concerted effort to keep their home family-friendly and up to date for the comfort of their guests! They have provided new hybrid mattresses, new living room furniture including a sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress, new stainless kitchen appliances, and upgraded polywood deck furniture. They also added more food storage space in the kitchen, replaced the ping pong table, opened up another bedroom closet, increased the dock size for more waterfront enjoyment, and expanded the parking area with an overflow lot allowing for trailer parking for your snowmobiles, ATV's or boat. And we always rotate our sheets and towels with new sets as they wear.
