The Lake House has a complete kitchen and families can save money by cooking easy and basic meals during their stay. The fire pit by the lake is a great place for Hot Dogs and S'mores!
Ukuhamba nabantwana
the Lake is Great... BUT KIDS NEED SUPERVISION
Our grandkids love to come play at the Lake House, but they always require supervision. The deck has a Planter Barrier of spring and summer foliage, but NO railings. All kids should wear flotations devices near or on the water.
