A Home on the Water

Professor Rousseau invites you to stay in one of several themed adventures! This small, secluded complex is at the end of the road and provides a beautiful vacation atmosphere, allowing you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and get in touch with nature. You’ll enjoy direct access to 200' of shoreline, a dock, & boat ramp. We welcome leashed furry friends at no additional cost!
