Quick questions

Common things people ask before booking.

Is this a real private island rental?
Yes. Grant Island is a real island on Brantingham Lake with cottage-style stays, tiny cabins, waterfront glamping, and a houseboat. Unless the whole island is booked, other guests may also be staying there and some areas may be shared.
Is Brantingham Lake private?
No. Brantingham Lake is a public lake, but public access is limited. Grant Island gives guests a private-island basecamp with a quiet lake feel rather than a public beach or resort-style experience.
How do we get to Grant Island?
Guests arrive at the mainland parking area, meet the host team, and are brought to the island by boat. Guests then receive orientation for island transportation.
Do we need our own boat?
No. The island stay experience includes boat-in arrival and orientation. Specific boat access can vary by stay and should be confirmed before booking.
Can we rent boats, ATVs, Jet Skis, or gear?

Is Grant Island dog-friendly?
There are dog-friendly options, but rules vary by stay. Tell the team your dog’s size and trip details before booking.
Is this more like a cabin, cottage, or vacation rental?
Grant Island is best described as a private island vacation with cottage-style stays. The island includes a mix of lodging styles, including a main cottage, tiny-cabin style stays, waterfront glamping, and a houseboat, so guests comparing Adirondack cabins or lake cabin rentals should start with the Cottage Stay Inquiry path.
