Take the worry out of drinking and driving: let your family and friends stay at our lakefront facility. People come from all over to celebrate with you, then hurry off just as the party gets started.

We offer several styles of overnight accommodation, from beautiful houses to modern cabins that are fully heated with private bathrooms and showers. Join the bride and groom at an after-reception campfire overlooking Great Herring Pond, then gather the next morning for a going-away breakfast. It turns your wedding into a destination wedding.
