They have large casement windows, air conditioning and are sound proof. Groups on motorcycles, bus tours and friend or family reunions find this especially adapted to their needs. It is fun to socialize on beautiful grounds, and stroll on the boardwalk along the lake. Kayaks can also be launched here.
Our other section is home of the Annex with oversize sliding glass doors right out to the lake. If you bring your boat or kayak , they can be parked on either of two concrete docks in front. Fishing , or just bravely wading into the cool water are also option.
