Digital Entertainment

Leave the kid's electronic games at home-they'll survive!
Leave your TV at home. We are too far north to tune into any channel without an exterior antenna. In case of a rainy day we do have TV/VCR units for rent and a collection of about 250 video titles.

If you must "work" while on vacation, there is wireless access available in the lodge. Return to Top

Power Equipment and Other Toys

We ask that you leave your Jet Ski at home for this trip.

We welcome ATVs but insist that you only ride on the local ATV trails away from the resort. We do not allow ATVs to be rode through the resort. All youth operators must have their ATV safety certificates.

From time to time we have received guest requests to bring a golf cart to accommodate a disability. Of course, we find this acceptable but for the safety of all of our guests it must be operated by an adult. Equipment must be operated only for the specified purpose and only or designated resort roadways or pathways
