Below is a listing of what we have ambitions to complete. Please note although we are planning for these improvements, there is no guarantee any will be complete before your visit. It is possible that some or all of these improvements carry over to the following year given contractor availability and lead times.

2023-2026

  1. Carriage House (Completed). We are excited to have the carriage house complete for the start of the 2024 season. This impressive carriage house includes 3 oversized garage spaces and a full living suite above. It includes a kitchen with large island and dining area, open concept living room, laundry, bath, and master bedroom. The plan is to include a pullout couch to accommodate 4 persons in beds with plenty of space for roll-away or blow up beds.

  2. Boat House/Exterior Wood Decks. In the boat house we plan to refinish the beautiful post and beam craftsmanship of the structure. All wood surfaces will be prepared and stained to create a rich stain contrast between the walls, floors and beams. This will also include installation of accent lighting, Sonos sound system, and interior decorations. Exterior wooden decks and handrails will be sanded, stained and sealed.

Other features include a large sauna, luxury shower and bathroom space, locker and changing area, massage tables, refreshment bar, and a gym area with weights, bench, and treadmill.
