FAQs:
Q: Can you rent boats nearby?
A: Yes, Mitchell's Point marina is about 2 miles away, they rent pontoon and ski boats

Q: Can you supply linens, sheets and towels for an extra fee?
A: No, but there are linen services there who are happy to arrange that for you.

Q: Is there anything nearby - stores, wineries, restaurants, marinas etc.?
A: Yes! The White House store-snack bar-gas station is about 6 miles away. Hickory Hill Vineyards and Ramulose Ridge Vineyards are about 11 miles away, and Mitchell's Point marina & restaurant about 2 miles away. Many others a little further.

Q: What's the nearest channel marker? Where is the house located on the lake?
A: The nearest channel markers are R1 and W1, which are close to the dam and the largest, deepest part of the lake. Shorewood Cove is in the Mountain View Shores neighborhood southeast of the State Park. The house is in a quiet cove and close to the best fishing, boating, and water sports area on the entire lake.

Q: I love to fish, drink beer, and lie about both. Do I need a fishing license?
A: It depends. If you fish from private property then you do not need a fishing license. If you fish from a boat, then you need a fishing licence. Licenses can be purchased at the local marinas, some stores, and the state park. Beer is sold at marinas, stores and groceries - please enjoy responsibly. Lying is expected, that's why they call it fishing instead of catching.
