There is a galley-style kitchen, two bedrooms, a screened-in porch, an outdoor shower, and a composting toilet.The Gray Cabin – A path through the woods leads to this second seasonal home that was built by hand in the 1970’s for the assistant camp director and his family. This cabin includes a wonderful screen porch overlooking the pond, a living room, modern kitchen, three bedrooms, a sleeping porch, outdoor shower, and a composting toilet.Lodge Building – Perhaps the crown jewel of this unique property, this building was originally built in 1875±. This charming structure offers a beautiful stone fireplace and a covered, outdoor sitting area perched above the water.Additional buildings include a four-bay storage garage, a workshop, dining hall and kitchen, an infirmary building, and several lean-tos.
