Road Trip at 'Bout Dam Time - Sleep in a 1950's Bus!! Funky Lakeside Cabin.

Come stay with us and enjoy the perfect blend of beautiful weather and breathtaking views at our cozy lake front retreat. The “Roadhouse” at ‘Bout Dam Time is a unique funky lakeside duplex with a 1950's Bus converted into a bedroom! This fun cabin is located on Crystal Cove that's perfect for a relaxing getaway! If you’re nature lovers, rock hunters, bird watchers, beach combers, tree huggers, porch sitters, star gazers or just like being outside, this is the place for you! Wake up to a cup of coffee and watch the incredible sunrise over the water! Be one with nature and soak it all in! You can listen to the peaceful songs of many species of birds and watch them soar high above the clouds while you look for shells along the beach. When you’re finished exploring, enjoy a fresh craft brew at our onsite Brewpub under beautiful oak trees or in the relaxing spa with 5 massage chairs (cold in the summer months & hot in the winter months), a gentle breeze and amazing view of the dam. As night falls cozy up by the fire pit (when allowed) and take in the night sky filled with stars! Bring your telescope. When you’re ready to turn in you have all the relaxation of home waiting in the cabin! Come on out and enjoy nature along with the comforts of home!

Low water, high spirits

The lake is low, but the place was nice and clean. Community hot tub was clean and hot. Atmosphere was friendly. There is a brewery/pub on site and access to the lake. We had a great stay
