Cottages & Marina.
Guests pitched tents on
the grounds and stayed for some great fishing and relaxation. Over the
years, "Cap" Harris, aided by family, friends, and local craftspeople, built
small cottages (Cottages # 1,2,3 &4) and two boat houses (cottages #5,6,& 7)
along the lakeshore. The creativity and individuality of these people shows
