Screened porches

Your Own Screened Porch on the Lake

Every cabin has a screened porch with a long table and chairs for the whole group. It's where breakfast happens, where you sort tackle and swap stories after supper, and where you watch the lake through an evening storm without the bugs.

Cabin by cabin

Pick the cabin that fits your group

Five big cabins for groups of 4 to 8 and two small ones for 2 to 4. The big cabins have more beds than people, so a group can add one or two and everyone still gets a good bed. Tell me who's coming and I'll match you to the right one.

Daily housekeeping

You fish. We do the dishes.

At an outpost, the cleaning is up to you. Here, while you're on the water, the crew comes through your cabin every day.

  • Beds made
  • Kitchen cleaned and dishes done
  • Garbage taken out
  • Coolers restocked with ice

You cook what you like, when you like. Come back from the evening bite and the cabin is ready for you.

Cabin FAQ

Questions about the cabins

Do the cabins have air conditioning?

Yes. Every guest cabin has had A/C since summer 2026. Most July and August days run in the 70s and 80s, and a few get hotter, so it makes a real difference for an afternoon nap.

Are bedding and towels provided?

Yes. Beds are made up with bedding and two pillows each, and towels are supplied. You don't need to bring sleeping bags.

What's in the kitchen?

A full kitchen with pots, pans, dishes and utensils, plus a gas BBQ and a propane fish cooker on or near the deck. Bring your food and any favourite cooking tools. The packing list covers the rest.

Does every cabin have a shower?

Yes. Every guest cabin has hot water and its own shower.

Will we share a cabin with another group?

Never. Each group gets its own cabin, whether you're two people or eight.

Which cabin should we book?

For 4 to 8 people, one of the big cabins; for 2 to 4, the Fisherman's or Cabin 4. If anyone can't manage a bunk, tell me and I'll make sure everyone has a bed at floor level. Check dates and I'll tell you what's open.
