Singer Tavern Cabins
10 one-bedroom cottages and three two-bedroom cottages.
We stayed in Singer Tavern Cottage #20 during our stay. We had one queen bed with a full bathroom and an epic view of the lake.
Our favorite part of staying in a Singer Tavern Cottage was the amazing view. We spent hours relaxing in our room, looking out over the lake.
There were two incredibly comfy chairs next to the electric fireplace that we turned towards the window. With the window open, we were able to relax with an epic view of Lake Crescent and a cool breeze.
I am going to admit that the bed in our room was not our favorite, and we both struggled to get a great night's sleep. The bed was incredibly firm, and we just couldn't get comfortable.
Our cottage was in a building with a total of three rooms, so we could hear the other guests every once in a while.
One-Bedroom:
- 1 or 2 Queen Beds
- Full Bathroom
Two-Bedroom:
- 1 Queen Bed
- 2 Queen Beds
