The Summer House and
Pergola area has table and chairs, and a great griller (charcoal not
provided) and is surrounded by lush garden areas.
The Summer House
with the quiet waterfall trickling makes for a delightful place to
sit and read or play a game of checkers. The Pergola is wrapped in
a wisteria roof that makes for a shaded area to enjoy eating,
reading or just listening to the quiet of the country life.
The area is open for all guests to use and is centrally located to
the main house, the Maple Leaf Lodge, as well as, the RV Camp area.
