For those properties that aren’t right on or within walking distance, a pass is necessary. You can stop by the town offices to pick up a weekly pass or pay per visit. Beach passes are issued by vehicle and are not transferable.

Margaret
This property was EXACTLY as pictured and promised. The kitchen was very well stocked, sleeping quarters were large and comfortable, and great room area was able to easily accommodate our large group. The outdoor area was inviting and you couldn't beat the gorgeous view of the lake! This property was a winner for us!!
