Association Amenities/Nearby Activities

new floating main docks

When you buy a lakeview cabin or RV lot you have full access to all of the resort’s amenities.

The resort offers several amenities including:

  • sandy beach with beach furniture and shuffle board just steps away from each cabin
  • safe swim area with a Rave raft
  • paddleboats and canoe
  • new floating docks
  • private boat launch
  • fish cleaning facility

Peninsula Shores’ island is located only 300’ in front of the beach/swim area. The island is perfect for a picnic, daytime gatherings, exploring, viewing wildlife, canoeing around, or primitive overnight camping.

Peninsula Shores Association lot owners are made up of a nice mix of families (couples without children, with toddlers, with elementary-age children, and with adult-age children). The owners have developed a comfortable community with pride in their lakeside vacation lots.

The association fee includes well maintenance (2 wells service the association), septic system maintenance (newly installed in 2006), docks maintenance (new 2008) and grounds keeping, and other expenses. The association fee is $750/year.

The water to the seasonal cabin lots and the RV lots will be turned off from October 15 to May 1, as weather permits. These seasonal lots can be used year-round but lot owners will need to supply their own water during the winter months.
