With 21,000 acres & 34 miles of shoreline in conservation easement in the area, much of Nicatous Lake is not developed with the beauty protected & "forever wild".

Guests can snuggle in for the night in the loft. The large covered porch has timeless views of the common area & lake. The 3 sleeping cabins (c. 1930's) feature wood stoves, newer beds, and privacy. Arranged in a semicircle, the buildings open onto the common area for gathering at the 8 picnic tables, oversized firepit & 30-foot event tent.
On the practical side of island living, power is supplied by a newer diesel generator for all buildings' lights, electrical outlets, & smaller kitchen appliances. Ready to install are a new battery system and solar panels with inverter ($15,000+ value). Propane tanks power the large kitchen appliances & hot wate.
