Screened-In Porch
Directly adjacent to the bar is our great screened-in porch. It often offers a cooler, quieter area to hang out while still in the bar atmosphere. Listen to the loons signing or the waves lap up on the beach, watch an incoming lightning storm, or feel the cool breeze off the lake. As all of our buildings are non-smoking, the porch is also the ideal place to enjoy a good cigar!
