About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
This island has been in the family since 1983 and we have protected and cherished this place since then. In 2018 we expanded parts of the island to incorporate a wedding venue which has now added to the island an additional lakefront viewing platform, a large 30x50 ft open area for tenting or outdoor games, a scenic fire pit area, beautiful string lights throughout the island, and an additional luxurious outhouse with outdoor sink. Soon we hope to also have an outdoor shower installed.

Why they chose this property

A unique opportunity to enjoy a relaxing experience on an island

What makes this property unique

You have the entire 1.5 acre island to yourself with the sounds of loons, beavers, and bull frogs, the sites of bald eagles in the trees above, loons swimming in front, ducks doing their thing, beavers swimming and flapping their tails and various fish all over. The serenity of no adjacent neighbors and the gorgeous site of the rising sun is also a unique feeling.
