Hi there! Just a few items for you to know...
We live here and want you to visit and stay as long as you'd like while experiencing the best our family-friendly resort has to offer. We are a family place with plenty to do to accommodate any family size. We offer free canoe use, bikes of all sizes, life jackets, some beach toys, and more. For rent, we provide kayaks and 2 pontoon boats. We have free board games—just ask! Each cabin rental also includes a variety of books to enjoy during your stay.
On our property, we have a small store that sells almost anything you might need for your Sugar Island accommodations, including souvenirs, food, drinks, fishing goods like worms, and more—lots more, including all your ice cream needs. Please note that we do not sell alcohol or cigarettes of any type, including vaping, and no weapons of any type. We do make frequent trips to town, so if you need something we don’t currently sell, just ask. We can add it to our shopping list. We would love to help.
We expect that while you are here, you'll take advantage of all we can offer. In return, we ask that you keep the property clean as you go. We do all of our own improvements and repairs and appreciate your help in caring for every part of the property so we can continue to keep our upkeep expenses low—thus keeping our prices affordable. We do not charge a cleaning fee, but we do expect you to clean before you leave.
There’s no curfew, but we do ask that you honor and respect those around you. Noise should be kept at a reasonable level for sleep when appropriate.
If your cabin rental doesn't have something you need in the kitchen or elsewhere, please ask. I probably have it, and it’s yours to use.
Pets are allowed with approval and an additional fee for your stay. Please bring what you need to clean up after your pets, and they must not be left alone during your stay.
No smoking is allowed in any of our cabins. Common area smoking is permitted but must be discarded appropriately.
WHAT WE DO NOT SUPPLY:
All paper products or anything you dispose of, including paper toweling, toilet paper, napkins, garbage bags, etc. We do ask that when bringing those items, you consider our septic for disposal. Body soap, hand soap, and laundry items are also not supplied.
WHAT WE DO SUPPLY:
Dish soap, hand pump soap, linens, towels, all bedding, and all amenities per cabin. We supply all coffee filters and kitchen toweling needed, as well as cleaning supplies.
And please note that we are continually improving our cabins as we go—a constant work in progress! We welcome your suggestions.
Any questions? Call us at 920-209-1989.

The Sugar Island Ferry is the only way to access our beautiful island, unless you arrive by boat, which some adventurous visitors do. It's a quick drive-on ferry that will float you over in less than a minute. The prices and schedules for this ferry service are listed above, and once you arrive, we can discuss discounted trips to and from our location. While you're here, be sure to check out our cabin rental options at our family-friendly resort, where you might even catch a glimpse of the large ships passing through from/to the locks, as that's the thoroughfare, too. It's an exciting experience!
