faux campfire, and families can overnight in spacious bunk-bed rooms. A rooftop hot tub,
beer and wine bar, and communal dinner nights sweeten the deal. Pet fee $40.

CABINS

Away from the Heavenly hubbub, these tidy, private cabins are fenced off on a quiet resid-
ential street. The vintage look of the kitchen-equipped cabins, from knotty pine walls to
the stone-bordered gas fireplaces, will make you feel like you're staying lakeside. Clean-
ing fee $30; refundable pet deposit $100.
Let your dogs cavort in the yard while you swing in the hammock or soak in outdoor
hot tubs.

quieter, but then you'll miss the lake views. Pet fee $20.
