Harrison Village , where the cabin is located, has an excellent family beach. It is private and only for use by the 2500 residents of the village and their guests. In the summer there is a lifeguard, picnic tables, barbecue grills, snack shack, gazebo, off-street parking and a boat launch for the kayaks that come with your rental. The beach is literally 3 minute walk to the center of town for sandwiches, ice cream etc.
