WHAT
KIND OF LODGING FACILITIES
DO YOU HAVE?
We have 10 guest lodges ranging from 2-20 rooms in them. We also have
two private lodging facilities for couples, aHoneymoon Cottage and restored
Log Cabin. While every building is different, all rooms have their own
entrance, with commonhallways and/or stairways to the rooms. Except for
the Main building, all rooms have their own private bath. While we do
not have air conditioning in any of our facilities, ceiling fans provide
cooling comfort during some of the warmest summer temperatures. Some
guests prefer to stay in the same room in the same building year after
year. Others enjoy trying out each of the different cottages. Every location
has its own charm and benefits so it is up to each guest to see which
one best matches their needs and preferences. If this is your first time,
try whichever one meets your room requirements and then see what other
options are available after your first trip. Visit our Rooms & Cottages page
for more information.
HOW MANY NIGHTS DO WE HAVE TO STAY?
The majority of our summer guests continue to stay for a full week, Sunday to Sunday. Numerous opportunities for shorter stays or even one night visits are available throughout the season.
HOW DO I MAKE A RESERVATION?
Once you know who is coming and when, just call or use our reservation
request form. While the first four weeks of August are traditionally
our busiest times, don't hesitate to inquire about space for any part
of our season, even at the last minute, since reservation changes regularly
occur.
