The Crop Room
Set your stuff up just once for the entire weekend. You have plenty of creative space for cropping, as well as, floor space for all the supplies you can fit in your car.
Your scrap area is provided with
- 10 square feet of sturdy table space
- over the table adjustable halogen task lamp
- overhead lighting and natural lighting from lakefront windows
- outlets for any electrical need
- comfortable padded office chair with arms
- paper waste can
- view of the lake while scrapping (you are not in a basement or 4 walled room - key feature commented on by past guests.)
Enjoy uninterrupted 24-hour crop time until check out (if you can make it), for a ton of scrapbooking fun over your entire weekend. Guests have commented on how fun it is to watch the "action" on the lake. The mallard family visits the beach often in the summer, Michigan's CHANGE OF COLOR is breathtaking in the fall, and in the winter months you might ask yourself, "did they catch anything?" as the ice fisherman head back in after an afternoon of ice fishing. Boaters, snowmobiles, skiers, and tubers also provide watchful fun for the times you want to get up and take a break outdoors for some fresh air.

Computer Station/Library
We have a computer station so you can get your journaling done. It has a printer and it's loaded with scrapbooking fonts. This is privately located at the back of the house (away from the scrap room) so you can have some quiet time to reflect on your memories as you journal your thoughts.
The shelves are full of scrapbooking magazines to inspire you. We also have technique, specialty magazines and quote/poem books for your perusal.

Take a Break or Relax for a Bit
