For rainy days, we’ve provided classic board games, high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, and pre-connected YouTube TV and Hulu for endless entertainment options.

While there is no in-person interaction with the host, a nearby property manager is available if needed for emergency. For any questions or assistance, we kindly ask that you reach out via the app or text message, with messaging during business hours being the preferred method of communication over phone calls.

Pet Friendly Stays:
We are a dog-friendly property and welcome up to two dogs per cottage.

For guests traveling with hunting dogs, please be mindful of your dog’s condition after a day in the field. If your dog is muddy or dirty, we kindly ask that they stay in our complimentary on-site kennel runs rather than entering the cottage.

Our kennels are thoughtfully designed with hunting dogs in mind. Each measures 4x8x6 feet, is set on a concrete slab for easy cleaning, and includes comfortable bedding, a protective roof, and 55-gallon drums on each side for added shelter and comfort.

Holy cow! What a view!!! I arrived really late so I wasn’t able to enjoy the vies in but once I woke up early the next morning talk about a sight to see! Pictures won’t do it justice. Very clean! Very cool. I really wish I was there on a vacation of some sort but unfortunately I was working at the local hospital from dawn til real late. I really wanted to get out on the lake or go in the sauna but didn’t have the opportunity. Take advantage if you can!! If I have to come back here I will be checking into this place again…. If they have availability. By the way the pillows I will be ordering for myself when I get back home!!!!
Every. Single. Morning.
