Five beautifully appointed cabins are set over a steep embankment surrounded by treetops, two are nestled in the bush beside a lake with waterlilies, and one 2-bedroom family-friendly cottage is located near the bed and breakfast. Two of the cabins are pet-friendly with dog bedding and bowls provided for well-behaved four-legged guests.
