Housing Options:
Standard shared cabins are nestled in the woods overlooking beautiful Otter Lake. All cabins are heated and fully winterized for year-round use and have five sets of bunk beds and a bathroom with two toilets, sinks and showers. We make every attempt to limit each cabin to five men. Please make sure you let us know if you have roommate requests! Decks on each cabin invite guests to gather together and enjoy the center’s natural beauty. Guests provide their own bedding, towels and toiletries.
Adult Quad Cabins - . Each cabin features four brand new twin beds, furniture, and hotel-style amenities. This lodging must be purchased as one 'item'. This means that those wishing to lodge together will split the total cost between the four occupants. Bedding and towels are provided. -
$1,500.00 for 4 until February 17, and then increases to $1,600.00
Lodges: Blended into the spectacular scenery of the Center are our two modern hotel-style lodges. Each lodge has twelve bedrooms furnished with either 1 double and 1 twin or 2 double beds.
