An open book-swap shelf is available in the great room, along with cards, puzzles and games.
No air-conditioning, but a newly installed attic fan pulls hot air out of the house at the end of the day. With fans in every room, the lake steps away, steady breezes and ample room to spread out in the shade, it's the perfect place for relaxing with a cool drink. An electric wall heater is available in the great-room only for short term use of cool nights. Towels and linens are provided, along with a cozy blanket provided on each bed. Sweatshirts are recommended for cooler days.

The entrance drive serves both properties, with 4 dedicated parking spaces reserved for the Cottage. The top of the small hill is reserved for loading and unloading.
The property has extensive beach with the water easily accessible via a short stairway at the boathouse. Swimming is excellent. The beach size varies with changing lake levels. While the water is shallow and sandy near shore, caution is advised with higher waves, especially with small children.
The property lies within 5 miles of Port Austin, a quaint town offering a harbor of refuge, kayak rentals with waterway maps to beautiful turnip rock, 2 miniature golf courses, a delightful and adequately challenging 18 hole golf course, horseback riding, a destination farmer's market, historic Port Austin Reef Lighthouse, a laundromat, summer and fall family events, as well as unique shops and local eateries.

A Dark Park Preserve is an area preserved to minimize night lights, allowing unusually clear viewing of the night sky.
Guests at the cottage are encouraged to keep lights low as the property is secluded and star-gazing from the lawn, boathouse and beach is truly exceptional. Small solar lights show location of the step to the boathouse deck and stairs to the beach.
