Whether you choose to enjoy the warm, cozy ambiance of the Main Lodge sitting room
(pictured right) and it's adjoining game room or the pristine beauty of our great outdoors,
you will find many activities and attractions to enhance your stay. Brindley's lodge is a gathering
place for many of our guests to enjoy ping pong, pool, TV, video games and each other. On cool spring, fall and winter evenings, choose a book from our library, settle
into one of our overstuffed leather chairs and escape to the authors world. Perhaps
instead of reading you'd like to work on one of our many jig saw puzzles or play a board
game with friends. A large fieldstone fireplace adds to the north woods ambiance. 
Outdoors the
sandy beach and sheltered bay waters enable water enthusiasts to swim, sail, water-ski or
relax in the sun. Get physical by using our bicycles, sail boats, canoes, paddle boat,
kayaks, playground equipment and lawn games. Planned activities such as turtle races
(pictured), a week long treasure hunt, fishing contests, ice cream social, campfires, and
more provide additional fun for everyone.
