### Additional Information
**Please note:** The Corp of Engineers prohibits the use of our dock; however, a gentle bank allows for easy loading and unloading of boats right in front of the house on the lakeside. For those looking to rent a boat slip, the State Park Marina—only a mile away—offers affordable daily rentals on a first come, first serve basis.
During the colder months, lake levels may drop, presenting a unique opportunity to hike and explore the fascinating lake bottom. ***As of 5/13/23, we want our guests to be aware that this year’s lake levels will be five feet lower due to dam repairs. Rest assured, swimming and fishing remain enjoyable, and launching a boat from the state park ramp will still be available. We are also working on relocating our docks further up the shore to enhance access to the water during this time. We can't wait to welcome you to our slice of paradise!8
