We have had as many as 15 people stay in the lodge at one time, however, we are not recommending that many. There are beds in 2 bedrooms, a loft. the back porch, and a double dormer that will sleep 11 or 12 comfortably. Any additional sleeping spots will require a tent and ruffing it. In late 2019 we retired some of the original sofas and chairs, and replace them with brand new furniture, We are excited about the new furniture and how it lets us use the space much better.

The stove and food prep area is pretty good size to get the job done. Though the gas stove is small it is efficient enough especially when you use the back cooking deck to supplement your needs. It is amazing to watch a sizable fishing opener crew prepare the end of the fishing opener fish fry, it is a feast.   

there's only room for seven months at the eating nook. But there are plenty of other tables and chairs around. If you like to eat with a view a roost on the front deck is preferred most of the time. Other then eating the nook is a gathering place for cards and various games to be played. 

This bedroom has a double bed and has been used to fit the needs of a young family of four. Two kids in a pack in play does the job. Comes with a sizable closet and a couple of the dressers.

My favorite bedroom. It's in the corner of the cabin that gets the least morning light for the late sleepers. The bunks can handle big adults. The room also has a good size closet and dresser. It is also closest to the bathroom for those who need easy access.

This a six window dormer comes with hide-a-bed couch to sleep 2 adults comfortably. This is my favorite place in the world to take an afternoon siesta. A reading area or game playing area by day, it transforms into a bedroom at night. It is separated from the rest of the cabin by a privacy curtain, which billows out in the summer breeze if all the windows are open. You usually can't get a lot of sleep here because you will be listening to the frogs, loons and other wild animals all night long. Oh Well! 

This is a normal 3/4 bath that is unique because it features a composting toilet. For nearly 20 years I have wondered why these systems aren't used more often. Indoor plumbing with out water and without any undesirable experience. NOTE THIS ONE ABSOLUTE RULE: YOU CANNOT USE THE COMPOSTING TOILETS IF YOU ARE USING ANTIBIOTICS! You will kill all the enzymes that makes the composting process work and we will all have an undesirable olfactory experience.  

The loft is the largest sleeping room and could accomodate a family of 5-7. A double-single bunkbed, a double sleeper sofa and enough room for a cot or pack and play. There is a place to hang clothes plus dresser and nightstand. There are heavy duty, safe railings with screening for extra protection for the little ones.

People fight over this room. it is really only set up for one person but we can add a cot. It is the desired place to sleep if you have a dog and a kennel. It can be excessed both from the loft and door to an outside stairway. The big windows makes it feel like you are camping out under the stars

This deck is 60 feet above Buzzards Bay and over looks the lake and trees below. Large enough for everyone to eat on or star gaze. It has been a favorite gathering place for conversation and relaxation since year two..

This is the loading deck, cooking deck and probably the deck that has had the most beer spilled on it. All gear and supplies are 6-wheeled up to the cabin and drop on this deck. At other times it is where the grilling and fish frying happens. That usually leads to a few adult beverages and the fish stories start percolating too. 

Right off the back deck is a great sauna. It can handle 4 of 5 adults and it has a unique way of using a wood burning stove to produce lots of steam and quickly. On the coldest days when the sauna feels the best, stepping just outside and dousing yourself with a cold water shower is exhilarating. Then you jump back in and start the process over. Two big windows let's you overlook the lake if used during daylight hours. 

Connected to the Sauna is the Utility Shed. Until recently it housed the Polaris 6 Wheeler, all the tools, the generator, water tank supplies, boat gear and more. Now that the Polaris and all the boating supplies been moved down to the New Dock Shed, there's more room. It can be used for outdoor cooking as well as some woodworking projects when it rains.   

Started in 2017 the Dock Shed, which is located where else but close to the Dock, was completed in 2019. It houses the Polaris and all of the boat supplies and gear. More than that, it features a second composting toilet. That means you won't have to run all the way to the cabin after a long boat ride or late at night when we're enjoying a bonfire. Finally beside the biffy, the Dock Shed also sports a small deck that's roofed and protects anyone at the deck from an unexpected shower. 

In use for 4 years now, this dock has proven to solid as a rock, is 8 feet wide and 55 feet long. The road up the hill to the cabin has been improved, with a turnaround down by the water.  We have a place to play bags, a swing and also a new fire pit area.

A few years ago moving the dock and building a new road down this previously unused beach area was a tough decision. First we're leaving the old dock area and a lot of memories, second it was expensive, a lot of work and a little farther walk. It proved to be a great decision. It open up and made a large area more accessible. After the new dock shed was completed: we had much more room for all kinds of activities, a new camping pad, a bathroom and "last but not least" a nice beach. A true hit with all the grandchildren. 

It's a short easy walk to the point on one of trimmed paths on the property. It's one of series of foot trails that make the property explorable. The last couple of years storms have made it tough to keep some of the trails open, but not the point. It's always fun to go all the way out to the end of the cedar point, to what we call "the Fairy Woods" As you go, you past the point and another fishing dock, where you can fish or watch the boats pass and listen to waves lap the shore. 

We have Mark's Camp Site. named after Nancy's brother who helped build the cabin and has been there ever year, every fishing opener and never has slept inside the building. Mark's Camp Site is located near where the original dock was located. There are other tent pads to be used, built or improved. So if you are like Mark and want to rough it, go for it!

This is entire story on it's own. This 1918 tamarack log cabin was built and homesteaded in 1918. Someone actually live out here in the wilderness then, and trust me, a hundred years ago this was wilderness. We cleaned it up enough to sleep in it a few months when we started building that first year. Though it's kind of a wreak, remember this, "It is over a 100 years old".
