The cabin also includes a 12-foot aluminum boat for your use. Canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards are also available. More than 300 feet of shoreline, two docks and acres to explore!
House Rules:

Cabin experience
We were in the area to visit family and friends. The cabins were central to the area and allowed us to try something new. They are located in a very quite area with several cabins located adjacent. The weather was nice enough to have only the screens in the window to enjoy the weather. The host for the campground came to greet us when we arrived and made sure we knew about cabin and how to use items within the cabin. If you have the chance go and visit.

Lovely little dog-friendly cabin
We enjoyed our time at this cabin very much. So many extras included in our stay including use of the rowboats or canoes/kayaks and a sauna. The cabin had everything we needed to prepare basic meals and the water pressure was the best! We definitely look forward to coming back soon!

Wonderful little cabin on the lake
I really enjoyed my time at the cabin. The cabin was clean and just the right size for one or two people. Being on the lake was a real treat. There are rowboats, canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards available for guests to use for free during their stay. I really enjoyed kayaking up the Otter River and learning to standup paddle board in the lake. I’d definitely stay here again and have already recommended the cabins to my family.

Great little cabin on a lake
At the end of a road on a lake, this place is quiet and beautiful. With various kayaks, paddleboards, canoe and boats, it's easy to get out on the water. Gracious property manager.
