Last time I was here the food was terrible. BUT supposedly it's under new management and they do a lot of outdoor bands on the weekends. Should be worth checking out for a bite to eat.

City advice
What to pack
Bring comfortable slip-on shoes
Vinyl plank flooring is throughout the entire house - no carpet. I prefer to have a pair of slippers when I'm at the home.
Travelling with kids
Backyard mostly fenced in
Creative kids could probably find a spot where a tree has fallen on a fence and knocked it down some. Please watch your kids so they don't get lost in the woods.
What to pack
Swimsuits
Never forget your swim suit when you're this close to so many lakes and lake accesses!
What to pack
Bring some wood for a campfire
There is plenty of sticks and wood to be picked up across the 2 acres, but it would be smart to bring some of your own. Scrap paper is provided to get the fire up and going
What to pack
2 outdoor chairs provided - bring more!
We have 2 lawn chairs at the home. If you expect to spend more time outdoors it's best you bring a few more chairs.
