Fire pit available. Pontoon boat, ski boat, and tubing available in season (fee). Liability waiver required at check-in.

The space
Still Valley Lake is a beautiful private lake. We invite guests to enjoy lake life! Make use the private beach, complimentary canoe, adult kayaks, youth kayak and paddle boat, swim, or fish. Pontoon boat (shared between 2 properties, no boating license required) and ski boat with driver are typically available for rental (seasonal); ask for details. Please note that the lake is lowered for the winter mid November until spring, so access is limited . Charcoal grill, life jackets, beach towels, camping chairs, beanbag toss, and assorted games and puzzles are included.

Charcoal grill (charcoal not provided) and portable outside table provided. Wood for the fire pit is not provided.

The loft is designed for 4 guests, but can possibly accommodate up to 6 people. There are 2 futon couches suitable for children or smaller adults that can be slept on in the unit. Please contact us if there are more than 4 people in your party.

We also have a slightly smaller unit, Still Valley Lake Cottage, that holds up to 4 guests.

Guest access
The loft is private and inviting, but is not small-child friendly due to the open stairs and patio railings. Guests must be able to walk up a flight of stairs. Please use the lake! Rules and safety information located in the loft.

The lake is lowered mid-November thru spring. Access is limited during that period and no pontoon boat or water-skiing is available.

We highly recommend using the dedicated hiking trails available at the nearby Mount Union Nature Center. Guests are welcome to walk the drive.
