Outdoors, you'll have access to a 1/2-acre property and 16 KM of the beautiful clear and swimmable Crowe River with dock for your boat (dock is water level dependent and is available around the beginning of June- end of September). We provide a large outdoor dining table, deck seating, games, 2 kayaks, one 16ft canoe with paddles, life jackets from toddler to adult, and a fire pit to roast marshmallows under the stars. The yard is perfect for outdoor fun and relaxation. The entry to the water is sandy/muddy and gradual which is great for little ones. The waterfront may have some sticks and muscles so bring some water shoes if it's something that might bother you. Please note that outdoor amenities may be stored away for the off-season (October through to April). We DO NOT provide outdoor water towels but do provide indoor shower/bath towels.

BEDROOMS
We have three cozy and well-appointed bedrooms to choose from for your stay. We understand the importance of a good night's sleep, so we've provided a mix of down, cooling, and polyester pillows of different firmness throughout the beds to accommodate various preferences and needs. We've made sure that each bedroom offers a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for a restful night's sleep. All linens are included.

In the primary bedroom, you'll find a comfortable queen bed and a small pull down futon for extra sleeping space, along with a 50" Smart TV for your entertainment. You'll have plenty of storage with large dressers and a closet complete with hangers and robes. A small desk and full length mirror make getting ready a breeze, and bed side lamps with USB chargers provide convenient access to power. Plus, you'll enjoy the cozy carpets for your comfort.

In the second bedroom, you'll also have a comfortable queen bed and a 45" Smart TV. A full size dresser, full length mirror, 2 robes, and end table with lamps provide ample storage and convenience. If you're traveling with a little one, we've also provided a foldable crib (located in the closet) with a double sided firm/soft mattress, fitted sheet, blanket, and baby pillow that can be moved to any space needed.

For those traveling with a group or family, the third bedroom offers twin size bunk beds and a toddler bed. There is even a small lamp, two small dresser end tables and hooks behind the door.
