Assigned slip is included
Included — the third and farthest boat slip from shore, at the end of the dock. It is included with every stay at no separate charge, whether or not you bring a boat.
Included electric boat lift
The electric boat lift is included with every stay at no separate charge. Only a capable adult who knows safe boat-lift operation may operate it. Anyone unfamiliar with or uncertain about safe lift operation must not operate it. Inclusion does not guarantee that the lift is suitable for a particular boat; contact the Provider if you need help or have a fit question. No routine boat information is required to request or book a stay.
$300 is credited toward rent
More than 30 days before arrival, a $300 reservation payment is credited toward rent; at 30 days or fewer, the full accepted total is required before confirmation. A separate limited Square card authorization covers documented post-stay charges only and is never used for rent or another pre-arrival amount.

“The boat house guest slip with the lift worked well for our 20 ft ski boat. Covered deck off the guest slip was very nice for lake and sunset views. Water in the area is generally calm and free of weeds.” — Richard H., VRBO Review
