The Space

Come unwind at this serene spot on Hyco Lake where you can relax, gather, create memories and enjoy the spectacular views and tranquility of the lake.

We provide paddles, ores, adult floating devices and an array of life jackets. However, we cannot guarantee all sizes. Guest supply their own fishing gear.

In addition, we provide an array of baby items, some toys and children's books to minimize packing for those families with infants or small children. But, please, note that the house is NOT baby proofed and we ask that you supervise your children at all times.
