Romantic cabins with unique amenities

Different cabins are available, such as channel view, lakefront, and pond view. Each cabin is uniquely designed with special features catering to guests’ preferences. You can stay in cabins with heart-shaped sunken tubs, massage chairs, lofts, or enclosed back porches. During winter, guests can opt for cabins with heated floors to make their stay even cozier. All cabins have a fireplace, a sunken whirlpool tub for two, and a signature “butler door” for private deliveries. You’ll get juices, a snack basket, and a breakfast basket to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The establishment can even accommodate special dietary needs.
You can choose from romantic add-on packages to infuse extra romance into your stay. For instance, the Mimosa Wrap-up package includes two plush robes, a Yankee Jar Candle, a therapeutic heated neck wrap, a bottle of Mimosa, and orange chocolate. The Rose Petal Package includes champagne, gourmet chocolates, a scented bubble bath, silk rose petals, candles, and other surprises. These packages are a great way to personalize your experience and create lasting memories in this nature-infused retreat. One thing the cabins do not have is Wi-Fi. This is intentional, as the resort hopes to encourage couples to put devices away and focus on each other.
