Cabin Items – We do our best to maintain a proper inventory in your cabin, but if you need something please let us know.

Pets – We welcome pets, but please observe the common courtesy rules outlined in our pet policy.

Boats – Motor Boats are available for $20.00 a half day or $30.00 for a full day.  You must be 18 years of age to rent a boat, and you must have a person at least 18 years of age in the boat at all times.  If you plan to use a boat first thing in the morning, please rent it the night before.   We have a boathouse to store oars, cushions, and life jackets.  Please leave your boat in the same condition you found it: remove any trash when you dock your boat.  Please use the boathouse in order to keep the equipment in good shape for other guests.  We do our best to maintain boat equipment, but it wears out rapidly.  One thing that helps to maintain the oars’ condition is to only put them in the water when you are rowing.  If you set them in the boat when they are not is use, they will last a lot longer.   All boats must be returned to the docks each evening by dark.  Our staff can assist with a quick training on how to use our motors.  Please make sure you are familiar with how to operate our engines.

Fishing – Fishing is FREE to our guests.  A state license is required for those over 14 years of age. 

Swimming –Swimming is allowed in Rainbow Lake but not off our docks or boat launch.  If you wish to swim you must go to  the public boat launch which is ½ mile away.

Playground – Coming Soon

Ice – Walking on the ice is strictly prohibited.  The ice never gets very thick and the lake has natural springs that create thin spots.  In addition, we have two aerators that help keep the ice from forming.

Fires – Charcoal fires are allowed in barbecues only.  There are times during the year when we are under red flag warnings that prohibit open fires even in barbecues.  Please check with the office if you are not sure.  If we are under a red flag warning, we do have some gas grills available.  Please arrange for them early in the day.

Restaurants – There are good restaurants in town.  Please check with us for recommendations and menus.

Activities – There are also a lot of different activities available to guests in the area.  We can assist you in the office, but you may want to check with the Forest Service and the Chamber of Commerce for additional information.

Children – We enjoy having families and children stay with us, but please don’t leave small children unattended.

Refrigerator – Just a note about refrigerators: they are set at their best level.  Turning up the controls often will not help.  Please be patient.

Enjoy – The most important thing is that you enjoy your stay.  We work hard to make things nice for our guests, but there are things that happen.  Please let us know when you have a problem so that we can hopefully resolve it for you.
