The bathhouse has four private tiled rooms, each with its own shower and its own door. There is a new laundry, free Wi-Fi throughout, a guest dump station, and firewood for sale.
On the property: a stocked catch-and-release pond, a private walking trail, a new fenced-in dog park, a covered pavilion, a playground, horseshoes and cornhole. Pets are welcome.
