Our Story

Rooted in the spirit
of the lake

Our grounds sit on over a mile of pristine lakefront, offering a setting that is at once secluded and welcoming.

What began as a modest gathering place has grown into a distinguished destination—still grounded in the same values of warmth, integrity, and service. Whether you arrive for a family reunion, a retreat with friends, or a quiet weekend of your own, you will find here a home away from home, surrounded by the timeless beauty of Iowa's lakeland.
