Frequently Asked Questions

Sleeping bags & pillows are highly recommended (we do not supply linen). We also recommend bringing personal items such as sunscreen, insect repellent, food and beverages, towels and any specific recreational equipment you'd like to use.

To fill, simple remove the quick release tube (to prevent it from touching the lake water) and open and fill the bag. Reattach the tube to the quick release and you are good to go.

Absolutely. Your pod is anchored in 5-8 feet of water, and a canoe is always provided for your access. For peace of mind, we supply life jackets for all guests. The pods themselves are engineered for exceptional stability, meeting all safety standards; they don't tip or rock excessively. It's the same principle as the thousands of houseboats people live on worldwide, just on a smaller, more intimate scale.

Yes! Families love the Lilypods experience. The pods are very stable and feature secure railings around all decks. We provide life jackets in multiple sizes and recommend children wear them when on deck or in the canoe.

Parents are responsible for supervising their children at all times. Please note that the lilypods sit in 5 to 8 feet of water and are accessible by canoe. Children should therefore be comfortable in and around water. We are happy to discuss any specific safety concerns prior to your booking.
