◦ The closest grocery store Foodland is in Buckhorn, which is 10 mins drive away.

I highly recommend using private transportation or ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft (when available).

The property has 5 levels: 1) main lodge with alfresco dining on the top level > 2) firepits area > 3) huge lawn area > 4) wooden deck over water > 5) private beach and dock on Sandy Lake. From our main lodge to the lake is around 100 steps downhill with resting areas and various outdoor areas along the way. Most physically fit adults take few minutes to go downhill and uphill. Please proceed with care and wear proper shoes.

We are surrounded by the amazing nature and trees, so please do not put candles or light outdoor close to any exits, windows or doors to avoid attraction of bugs.

Please remember that you're staying in a lodge, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. You are renting the whole property, and we are not responsible for any loss, damages to your personal belongings.
