Our facilities are second to none with beautiful, spacious log cabins that accommodate up to 14 people with in-cabin bathrooms and showers.

Meals served in our Dining Hall include a variety of fresh and tantalizing dishes sure to tempt you. From Friday evening’s dinner through Sunday’s brunch, you’ll find plenty to reward your palate. Vegetarian options are always available. We can often accommodate other special diets with advance notice.
