Best of all our property is located on a dead end road with a turn around where you can hike down (length of a football field) to the lake which the Core of Engineers maintains. A few pictures of the path to the lake are in our web site which opens up into a beautiful no wake section of the lake.

When our mountain well water has not been used over a few weeks spring or fall there could be an Initial Natural Sulphur odor which is common in this region. If this should occur simply run the water for awhile and the smell will disapate. It is safe and it's treated.
The driveway can hold up to 4 vehicles. We ask that vehicles be kept off the yard. A boat parking pad was newly installed for up to a 22' trailer. You can use the turn around at the bottom of Parks Road than drive back up than back the boat into the driveway & onto the boat parking pad. Unhitch your vehicle and go from there
.
In late fall and winter, we advise 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicles. The township snow plows are good at spreading salt and plowing Piney Ridge and Parks Road, depending how deep the snow is, it may take longer than at other times.
We have snow shovels and salt in the pole barn.
Our rental is for family gatherings, age limit to rent is 28 . The person renting must remain for the rental.
We look forward to having you as our guests and to enjoy a slice of Heaven!
Thank you,
