You can relax in the seasonal swimming pool and hot tub, and stroll along the private beach. You won’t get bored here!

Accommodations at the pines resort

The variety in accommodations at the Pines Resort is one of many reasons to love it here! Choose from more private chalets, convenient waterfront suites, or cabins that are perfect for large groups. Here’s an overview of the different options to choose from!

I stayed in there 2 story cabin that faces the lake and it was beautiful! It has 3 beds, a full size kitchen, a patio that faces the lake with a table outside and its the perfect cabin for a small family or a couple!

CHALETS

The mountain chalets offer more privacy sitting amongst the trees, and have a beautiful view from the deck. The two-story cabins range in size from 620-700 square feet, with both one and two-bedroom options. You can enjoy a cozy living room with a fireplace for the chillier months, and a fully equipped kitchen if you’d rather dine in. We loved our stay in a chalet with a gorgeous lake view, and we already can’t wait to go back!

LAKESIDE SUITES

The suites give you unobstructed, stunning views of the lake and the convenience of walking right down to the beach. These are split-level and include king beds and a full bathroom, plus a cozy fireplace! These are smaller and perfect for couples or a small family. Plus they are situated directly beside Ducey’s for an easy dining option!

LARGE CABINS

These larger cabins are fully-furnished and perfect for those large family gatherings or other fun group events. They offer more of a private feel, and each cabin has it’s own unique charm. They can host up to 14 guests, and feature some really gorgeous views of the lake!
