We are located on a small bay off the Crowe River. Because we sit on a small bay of water, swimming off the dock is not recommended because of the large lily pads; however, you can hop in a kayak or canoe and paddle to a more easily accessible swimming spot. Fishing is also popular, with large/small-mouth bass, muskie, pike, walleye, black crappie and perch being frequently caught.
Lake access available only to Farmhouse guests.

Absolutely, pets are permitted in both the farmhouse and glamping domes, but there is a $25 fee per pet. They must remain on leash near our alpacas and horses. If they cause any damage, additional fees will be applied.
