THE CABIN AT LAKE FRANCIS

The Nut House and Squirrel's Nest Cabins

Nuthouse and Squirrel's Nest Cabin Accomodations



Now, just to be clear on this - there are actually two cabins on our property.  The lakeside cabin - affectionately called the "Nut House" sleeps 9 on beds and is usually the main eating and socializing location - which is why it seems a little crazy in there at times. 

The second cabin, the "Squirrel's Nest" is located a mere 30 feet behind the Nut House, was built in 1998 and is a 2 BDRM "nest" above the garage.  This location is used for movie watching in surround sound, as well as relaxing and taking a break from the activities in the Nut House.

The Nuthouse has an Internet enabled TV with a Netflix account while the Squirrel's Nest has a TV with a Blue Ray/DVD player with surround sound - so bring your own movies on either format. There is basic cable television and High-speed, wireless internet access at all times (though it can be slow if you're streaming Netflix movies).
