Traveler advice
What to pack
Bring Towels for the Lake!
It's important to bring beach towels for any outside activities- boating, jetski, swimming, fishing etc. We only have so much time to turn around for guests and ask that our supplies stay in the cabin during your stay.
Book before you go
All reservations for activities!
Make sure to book weeks in advance for any reservations- boat trips, jet ski, boat rentals, paddleboarding, bike rentals, restaurants (oakside for sure), chair lift etc.
Don't miss
Firepit: Propane
Once you arrive, make sure to check the propane in the firepit to see if it needs to be refilled. The local DIY and other places can do fill or swap but they do close around 8pm.
What to pack
Firewood!
The best firewood is a mixture of wood types. Duraflame is great because you don't need a starter but it makes a mess with ashes! Pine is a fast burning wood and will go out extremely quickly. Look to see if the store sells a wood mixture, we love avocado wood mixture because it doesn't make a mess, lights quickly and also stays lit longer. Dont forget some paper for kindling.
