The space
The cabin is spacious and comfortable, with queen beds in tandem bedrooms. The living room is designed for relaxation and hanging out, complete with a comfy leather sofa, electric fireplace, TV and DVD player. The full kitchen has everything your need to prepare a feast or whip up a midnight snack! The large deck and campfire are our favorite places to gather for a shared meal. There is NO wifi or cable - making your stay perfect way to unplug and recharge in nature.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the entire cabin and outdoor space. A floating fishing dock is available to use at your own risk if the river is high enough to float it level. Absolutely NO diving or swimming from the dock. Old railroad cars were buried along the banks between 1930 - 1950 for erosion control. You can still see some of the original wooden box cars if the river is low.
Please note: Due to road construction around the lake expect higher traffic on T-17 for 2025
