Other things to note:
We supply a small welcome package and coffee bar. Did you forget a toothbrush, shampoo, body wash, detergent, toilet paper/paper towels, bottle of wine from our local winery;)...we have you covered! There is a dollar general 1.5 miles from the house that you can pick up anything else you need!
The water depth in front of our boat dock is 2ft. The closest boat rental to us is Poplar Point Mariana (3.2 miles also home to waterfront restaurant Shady Shacks). Boat rentals need to have an outboard motor that can lift in order to guide the boat into our boat dock and a top that can fold down to ensure clearance under the bridge from great creek to the main lake (clearance is 8'11").
Bringing your own boat? Holly Grove Mariana 1.5 miles away has a public boat ramp for use.
We will have our boat docked on the lift, however you are welcome to anchor directly in front of our dock (we often do;).
