The Summit Lodge, Big Pine Lodge, Frontier Cabin, Avalón Villa and Bélla Casa all have gas fireplaces. They are operable from Oct. 30th to March 1st.
We shut them off in the warmer temps so that heat and A/C can't be used at the same time.
The Château and Loft have electric fireplaces that may be used year-round for the atmosphere of it. The Château has great new technology that is so realistic, you may not even notice that it is not gas. The big advantage is year-round use and no exhaust which gives a headache to people with sensitivities.
ALL of our properties have WEBER or CHARBROIL gas grills and we provide the propane.
Follow the instructions to light that are in the Welcome Book.

The Summit Lodge and Frontier Cabin are located on an infrequently-traveled, quiet township road and are definitely considered "secluded". The two properties sit on opposite sides of a five-acre parcel, with a densely-wooded hillside in between. The trees provide ample privacy during the months when leaves are on the trees.
Though each is somewhat visible from the other during the winter months, they are far enough apart to maintain a reasonable level of privacy. There are no other rental properties in the vicinity.
The Big Pine Lodge is located on a hill in the trees above a winding country road, away from other properties and also considered "secluded".
Bélla Casa, Avalón Villa, The Château Lake Logan and Lake Logan Loft are in a residential area on the lake. While they are private, they are not secluded.
The roads leading to our location, and the driveway, do not require special consideration unless there is significant snow or ice. The driveways are paved, and we have the best snow removal crew in the area, so you will be able to access it just fine in any vehicle, except in very severe snow or ice.
During severe winter weather, we do recommend 4-wheel-drive to access any property, as we don't have any control over the roads leading to our location.
