What to Bring

Basically, you can bring whatever you want, below are some guidelines to help you enjoy your visit and pack as conveniently as possible.

There is a 12 foot aluminum boat with oars included in your rental, bring an outboard motor if you have one along with life vests.

There is a storage barn included for boat motors, bicycles, and misc. equipment. See main web page for picture.

Be sure to bring LIFE VESTS for the boats and canoes. DNR will fine you if you don't have the proper number of life vests in your boat.

There is a 15' "Guide" Canoe included with your rental.

There are 3 kayaks included with your rental.

Bring a sunfish or parasail if you wish.

The "Trading Post" is located a short walk through the woods, about 1/4 mile and has everything from groceries to fishing lures and worms to canoe rentals.

There are nearby rivers to canoe in, upper and lower Platte, upper Platte river is faster, lower Platte river is slower and a bit wider.

We can't guarantee that there will always be firewood available, depending on what is left behind by the last family, just in case, firewood can be purchased here also.

Refrigerator and cupboards will be empty when you arrive, with the exception of some condiments. There are a few baking supplies in the cupboard like flower and sugar. Please replace what you use.

Information on Beds

It is important that everyone understand sheets must be on any beds used during your stay. All of our mattresses and pillows are covered with hypoallergenic covers but these covers are not intended to be used as sheets. Additional sheets and pillow covers must be brought by all families and placed over these hypoallergenic covers.

In the master bedroom there is a King Size bed. We realize everyone does not have a king size bed at home so we are providing a set of blue king size sheets for that bed. If you have your own sheets, simply put the blue sheets we have provided aside and use your own. If you need to use the blue sheets, please do so and make sure they get thrown in the washer prior to you leaving. Our cleaning folks will dry them and get them ready for the next family arriving.
