John · Ready to help

Hi there! I'm John, the host. Need advice on where to eat, how to book a boat, or anything about the house? Just ask.

Can we bring a picnic boat out on the lake?

Absolutely - rentals are through Mountshannon Marina, 10 mins away. I can send you the contact info and they give our guests a discount. What kind of day are you planning?
