Guest access
Guests can enjoy all the amenities of the house, gas BBQ, lakeside fire-pit, dock, and the lake for swimming and boating. (Dock and lakefront yard under renovation in summer 2019 due to a seawall failure from ice during 2018 winter. New seawall should be completed by June 30, 2019).

Other things to note
Major grocery stores (Meijer and Shop & Save) are located 10 miles from the cottage, so guests are encouraged to be sure to pick up what they need when they're in town as there is no "corner" store nearby to pick up groceries or other items.
