This is the place you've been looking for-come for the ultimate family fall getaway!

*The bathrooms on the first floor are newly renovated. The basement bathroom of the lake house has not been renovated, but is functional and a full bathroom.

RUNNERS/MOUNTAIN BIKERS:

Head out the door, down the peaceful lake road, and explore the nearby trails via the Gravel Pit Road trailhead/CAMBA MTN BIKE trail (.5 miles away) which leads to over 300 miles of mountain bike, ATV, and running trails.

FISHING INFO:

Discover excellent fishing opportunities on the Tiger Cat Flowage, known for its Class A musky waters. Catch musky, perch, and bluegill or try your luck fishing from our new dock for bass and panfish! A book with more detailed fishing information and maps is available in the Lake House.

SWIMMING INFO:

While swimming in McClain may not be ideal due to its mucky bottom, guests can enjoy a comfortable dip by attaching our provided lily pad to the end of the dock. For a change of scenery, swim off a pontoon or visit the island in the nearby lake for a fun beach experience. Re-create the beach-like fun for young children with our boat-themed sandbox, safely located away from the water.

BOATING INFO:

On McClain Lake there is a peaceful boating atmosphere due to a no-wake rule. However, if you still want to experience full rec activities, there is a navigable channel to Upper Twin Lake which is full rec from 10AM-5PM everyday.

While enjoying your day, make sure to stop by the Black Iron Grill, located 4 minutes away at the boat launch, where you can have a delicious meal right from your boat. If you would like to rent a pontoon, Hayward Power Sports at the same launch is your go-to place. They have everything you need for a great day on the water.

Once you've booked your trip, we'll send you an email with a discount code for 10% off your equipment rental (includes ATVs, snowmobiles, and pontoons). If you decide to bring your own boat, you will be pleased to know that there is plenty of parking available and a roundabout at the end of the drive to make maneuvering your boat a breeze. The resort has 2 docks for mooring boats so you can easily head out on the water without any hassle. Pack your gear and head out to enjoy a day filled with adventure and excitement on the lake!

ATV/UTV/SNOWMOBILERS:

The CAMBA bike trailhead is the closest trail access right at the end of Hildreth Road.

All town roads are ATV routes unless marked. Please use caution and drive slowly on our road so that we don't lose the privilege to drive on our road and because there are lots of neighbors who walk on the roads daily.
Snowmobiles may wish to access trails from the lake.

PARKING/DRIVEWAY:

Summer parking for 6+ cars and winter parking for 5 cars is provided. During winter, our neighbor's drive provides added convenience as our driveway is steep. 4WD is highly recommended during winter months.

DOG POLICY:

This property welcomes dogs. Any dogs on the property should be well-behaved, sociable, and not prone to excessive barking. Dogs must be registered with the host by signing a dog agreement. A maximum of 3 are permitted, and a $100 fee per dog will be charged for additional cleaning.
