Great Week for Church Group
We had a fantastic church youth group up last week. They enjoyed lots of time on the houseboat and got the grownups to put on one spectacular beach party. What a fun Minnesota adventure!

See the inside of a houseboat
You know what they say with real estate the most important aspect is location, location, locations. And the houseboats have that in spades – where else can you literally dive into the water from your bed. But lately we’ve had a few folks call asking for more info on the inside of the houseboat. They are very comfortable! There’s room to eat, sleep, play cards, sun tan. You can fish from your bedroom!
We wanted to post a few pictures…

Fire at Timber Bay won’t slow us down
So we have some good news and some bad news. First the good news, we now have a much better view of the lake from the office. The bad news? On April 14, the lodge (cabin we live in during summer) burnt down. We had not yet moved out there. No one was hurt, but the cabin is total loss.
Again, no one was hurt and we’re counting our blessings. But we wanted to share the news and pictures with our family and guests. More importantly we want you to know that we plan to open next month as usual.
And our view of the lake – it’s beautiful!
