Our home is located in a small neighborhood named Abele Park on Lake Oscawana. This beautiful, quiet neighborhood consists of a combination of year round residents and summer homes. As far back as the early 1900's this neighborhood consisted of hotels, casinos, social halls and speakeasies as it was a huge tourist attraction for locals and New York City residents (including Babe Ruth!). You can still see the un-occupied candy shop and gas station buildings down by the park.
Guests have access to the entire cottage with the exception of a locked off storage room and owner's closet.
