We are always updating things around the home. In 2025 we just added 20 yards of play sand to our beach. We do supply bedding, pillows and linens including sheets, comforters, pillow cases, 8 towels, 8 wash clothes, 8 hand towels, a kitchen dish rag and hand towel for your entire stay. There are 2 bedrooms with a Queen bed in each. There is a Full futon and a Twin pull out couch in the living room. We also have a sun room on the front of the home overlooking the lake which has a Full futon. We do supply some paper towel and toilet paper.
We have a full kitchen with all the utensils but if you think we are missing some thing that you need please let us know. We may have one available nearby and in some cases we will go out and buy it just so you have it while you are here.

We just want you to feel comfortable, clean, and safe stay here all the while having a fun and relaxing time.
