They also have dinner trains, Fall Splendor trains and Candy Cane Express during December with Santa. You can visit the Cedar Old Growth Nature Preserve in Rockaway to see one of the biggest western red cedars and take a walk in the woods! Rockaway is also home to Lake Lytle which is a 65 acre lake with water that is warm enough to swim in during the summer and is stocked with rainbow trout and large mouth bass for the anglers in your group. You can kayak and use small boats on the lake.

The best thing about our beach cottage is we are the owners, manage it ourselves & clean it ourselves. So everything is done with the utmost care & consideration... something you don't get with big prop management companies.
