Fire pit available. Pontoon boat, ski boat, and tubing available in season (fee). Liability waiver required at check-in.

The loft is designed for 4 guests, but can possibly accommodate up to 6 people. There are 2 futon couches suitable for children or smaller adults that can be slept on in the unit. Please contact us if there are more than 4 people in your party.
There is a 100 foot elevation change up and down to reach the loft. 4WD or AWD are needed if snow or ice is present.

The loft is private and inviting, but is not small-child friendly due to the open stairs and patio railings. Guests must be able to walk up a flight of stairs. Please use the lake! Rules and safety information located in the loft.
The lake is lowered mid-November thru spring. Access is limited during that period and no pontoon boat or water-skiing is available.
We highly recommend using the dedicated hiking trails available at the nearby Mount Union Nature Center. Guests are welcome to walk the drive.
