Outing Highlights
Apartment-style comforts: sleep, cook and wash
The first-floor unit is set up like a private apartment: two full beds, a full kitchen, full bathroom with a walk-in shower and a stack washer/dryer. Entertainment and connectivity include a large flat-screen TV with cable and Wi‑Fi, and the space has its own exterior access separate from the 2nd and 3rd floors.
Evenings around the fire pit and a dedicated grill
Each cottage comes with a fire pit and chairs; wood is furnished and the operator asks for a donation to help restock. The 1st-floor unit also has a separate gas-grill area at its entrance for outdoor cooking.
Flat, trailer- and UTV-friendly parking
All cottages feature good flat parking areas designed to accommodate trailers, vehicles and UTVs. The parking area for the 1st floor is shared with the 2nd and 3rd floors, simplifying gear-hauling and launch logistics.
What the day feels like
How the stay unfolds
Arrive at a private, ground-level apartment and move straight into a self-contained living space where cooking, washing and relaxing happen under one roof. Days can be spent coming and going with trailers or UTVs from the flat parking area; evenings are small and deliberate — grilling at the entrance and gathering by the fire pit provided for the cottage.
