Our Policies

Our policies:

  • Gas motorboats are not allowed at our resort.
  • Sorry, no pets (in consideration of the local wildlife and other guests).
  • Smoking is not allowed in any of the buildings.
  • Check in time is 3PM.  Check out time is 9AM.
  • Our preferred weekly rental period is Saturday at 3PM to Saturday at 9AM.
  • We prefer to rent our cabins by the week, but please contact us if you are interested in daily rental. If openings are available, we’ll work to accommodate your schedule.
  • Daily housekeeping is not provided. Please remember to bring your own bath towels.
  • We are a quiet resort.  Many of our guests want to hear the sounds of nature free of manmade noise.  Finding a place to do this is getting very difficult in our modern world.  Please be considerate of other guests.  If you want to listen your music, use headphones  or close your cabin windows.  If your group is getting loud, take it inside and close your windows.  Strict quiet hours are 10pm to 7am.
  • Please make sure your boat is free of invasive species before launching it into Crooked Lake, Clark Lake or any of the Sylvania lakes.
  • We are a seasonal resort, open from mid-May to mid-October.
