Keep in mind that some local roads, including ours, are dirt or gravel and can get a little slippery in rain or snow conditions. If visiting during winter, an appropriate vehicle and preparation is advised. Please note the following in advance of booking to ensure a successful stay: PARKING DURING HEAVY RAIN/SNOW: - Parking is on a dirt/gravel area, and there is a short couple hundred yards of dirt/gravel loop road to access the property. It is a small hill and curve, but not overly steep. Regular compact vehicles can easily use it most times of the year. However, during heavy rain or snow, it is advised to have an appropriate vehicle with proper clearance, chains, and/or 4WD that can handle the local conditions. We also try to plow it regularly during the snow season, but cannot always guarantee it. If snow is expected during or around your stay, please use your best judgment and either park along the main road or come adequately prepared. -The driveway is looped for medium-sized towing access and can generally accommodate up to medium-sized RVs or other vehicles with trailers or boats as well. -Dock is seasonal, generally available from late March to early October, depending on the weather. Between those times it is removed, as the lake is often frozen or in the freezing process. -Non-motorized boat (kayak) also provided for seasonal use and generally recommended only when the dock is in place, but can be launched from the shore. Boat use is at your own risk and liability; children should always be accompanied by adults and anyone participating is encouraged to wear a life jacket. -There is a local pontoon rental company guests can contact for boat rental and information is provided to all confirmed guests. -Guests should prepare for a cabin-style stay. Most creature comforts are provided, and the town has anything you might need! However, preparation in advance for self-sufficiency is always advised. Inclement seasonal weather, local animals, and occasional bugs are all part of this area and should be expected. Local businesses sometimes close early, so planning ahead is always best.
