So, NO campfires, camp stoves, candles or incense etc. There are fire extinguishers located on the outside of each cabin. In the summer, if there is no burn ban in effect on the island, a fire may be built in our fire pit with permission from the Front Desk, keeping in mind quiet hours.

Things to Bring
A flashlight for getting around after dark. A beach towel for the spa and/or extra towels since we don't provide daily towel service and do require a towel per person in the sauna. Slippers to wear inside your cabin and a rag to wipe your pet's feet. A laptop or wireless device can be useful if you need to stay connected with wi-fi. A camera may give you a tool to record birds and marine life. A mountain bike or hiking gear will give you Moran State Park as a wonderland… and your delightful heart is always a welcome addition to ours.
