Our check-in time is anytime after 3:00 pm. Because we are a self-check-in and self-check-out resort we are not staffed to coordinate and manage early arrivals or late departures. When you arrive, go directly to your cottage, but PLEASE DO NOT enter the cottage before 3:00 pm. Before your arrival, you will receive details via email for your check-in. These instructions will include the code for the door and the address of your cottage. If for some reason, the digital lock does not work, there is a lockbox with a key. Please make sure you receive this email prior to arriving at the resort.

Our check-out time is 10:00 am. We cannot accommodate a late check-out as our cleaning team needs access to prepare the cottage for the next guest. Thank you for honoring this check-out time. Check-out details will be included in your pre-arrival email. During your stay, and upon departure, please dispose of all your trash in the dumpster located at the entrance to the property. Strip the used beds and leave in a pile on the bed and put all the used towels in the bathtub. Please dispose of all food from the cabinets, fridge and freezer. You are responsible for leaving the cottage in the same condition (with normal usage) as it was found when you arrived. The registered guest will be held responsible for all damages to the cottage and boat dock found during or after departure.

MINIMUM NIGHT STAYS: All reservations from October through April require a (2) two-night minimum stay. All reservations for May and September require a (3) three-night minimum stay. All reservations for June, July, and August require a (4) four-night minimum stay. Some exceptions might be available between reservations and on weekdays.

Our Studios and One Bedroom cottages have two parking spots where you can park two vehicles. Near the entrance to the property, there is trailer parking. Our larger cottages have a parking space for your boat trailer at the cottage. If you are staying in one of our 3-bedroom cottages please use this designated trailer parking at your cottage to leave the trailer parking for the smaller cottages. Please be respectful only to use the parking designated for your cottage so that other guests will have access to their parking spots. If you need more than two parking spots and the trailer parking, please let us know so we can try to accommodate you.

We offer a brand new 14-slip boat dock with a swim platform that is available for our registered guests to use during their stay. We do not have a swimming pool. There is a park-style charcoal grill located outside each cottage and a community picnic table area located by The Serendipity. Our three-bedroom cottages have private fire pits for guests to use. All other cottages have access to the community fire-pit that is located at the corner of Reel Ln and Resort Ln. You will need to bring your own firewood. Every cottage, except the glamping tents, has a washer and dryer for your use during your stay. We share the property with Rod N Reel Pointe, a privately owned community. Our guests WILL NOT have access to their amenities, including their swimming pool, boat dock, laundry facility, and playground area. Please honor their privacy by using the roads and walking paths to and from the boat dock.

When you make a reservation on our website, you will have the option to add a boat slip for $25 per day and/or a jet ski dock for $15 per day.

You can see if a specific cottage has WiFi in the descriptions on the Cottages page. WiFi login information will be available in your welcome email.
