The kitchen is roomy with a small breakfast bar and dining area that comfortably seats 8 (high chair and booster seat also available). The attached deck stretches along the length of the cottage offering stunning views of the lake below.

Located on the first floor of the boathouse is the rustic bar area with mini fridge, darts, and parlor games. There is no bathroom in the boathouse. (Please note there are 2 full flights of stairs to get to the water and no bathroom).
