However, there is a barbed wire fence and there may be cows in the field. So, please only venture down there at your discretion.

Cabin
The cabin comfortably sleeps four guests. Additional guests are not allowed, except for infants who can occupy a pack 'n play. The cabin features a lot of natural, exposed wood, which may cause slivers, stubbed toes, or scrapes from sharp edges. Guests with limited mobility might find the small spaces challenging to navigate. The lofted area can be hazardous for infants and young children; you can move the ladder in the loft to prevent access, if needed.
Activities
Hunting is not allowed on the property at any time. Fishing is permitted at the creek, but it requires a walk to reach. Enjoy activities such as playing games, drawing, writing, listening to music, meditating, relaxing in the hot tub, taking small walks in the prairie, and observing wildlife. A quick 8 minute drive will bring you to East Lake Vermillion where there is public access to a beach, fishing docks, restrooms, volleyball court, picnic tables and a shelter.

The nearest town is about 10-15 minutes away, but there are no gas stations or laundromats nearby. Any services you may need will require a 10+ minute drive. Our guidebook includes recommendations for local bars and restaurants.
