CABIN BLUEGILL
Featherstone Memorial Park is home to five cozy, small cabins, and Bluegill Cabin is a favorite among visitors. Located just yards from the water's edge of North Twin Lake, this cabin offers stunning views. The Bluegill Cabin comfortably accommodates six guests, with two full beds and two twin beds. (there are two bunk beds, each with a full mattress on bottom and twin mattress on top). The cabin is equipped with a kitchen table and chairs, a microwave, a mini-fridge, an AC/heat unit, and a bathroom with a flush toilet and sink.
The Bluegill Cabin is also noteworthy for its covered cement patio deck, which overlooks the serene lake. A picnic table is provided on the deck, and a fire ring is located right in front of the cabin. Explore Featherstone Memorial Park's many attractions, including a trail that encompasses the entire lake, a disc golf area, a fantastic lake for boating, a playground, and a shoreline that's great for fishing. Please note that pets are not allowed inside the cabin.
