You’ll have the chance to dine al fresco or play games in the screened in ‘shed’ overlooking the lake or at the huge dining table inside the cottage. Rain or shine, we’ve got you covered. Enjoy the lake from your choice of paddle board (2) or kayak (2 person and a single) or sit back on the large couch on the dock.
