Build Lasting Traditions

Explore Fractional Ownership

The Main Lodge features 29 fractionally owned condominium suites offering guaranteed vacation weeks each year, paired with full access to resort amenities—combining the ease of ownership with the comforts of a waterfront retreat.

Deeded Ownership

A major benefit of fractional ownership is you actually own the physical property. It is deeded ownership and considered an inter-generational real estate investment that can be kept in the family or sold like traditional real estate.

6 Weeks Annually —Guaranteed

Fractional owners are entitled to 6 weeks of guaranteed occupancy of their residence every year. 

Maintenance-Free Vacation Homeownership

With fractional ownership, you can stay and relax in your dream vacation spot without having to worry about the building and property maintenance that is typically involved in vacation homeownership. Enjoy your residence and rest easy, knowing that it is well-taken care of when you aren’t there. No winterizing is needed.

Beautiful, perfect location This time we stayed in a 1 bedroom. The place is very luxurious, even for 3 people. We loved the fireplace. The Lodge staff is very friendly and helpful. They are a delight to work with. Free coffee and tea is provided, plenty of games provided free (board games, chess, puzzles, etc.)
