      • Cabin sidings must be a vinyl, aluminum or wood product in an earthtone color and all exterior walls painted, stained or varnished. This requirement makes cabins less obvious to others and helps protect exterior walls.

      • Slab foundations are not allowed, with an exception being made for small saunas.
      • Total square footage of ALL buildings may not exceed 564 square feet for standard lease sites or 764 square feet for oversize lease sites.
