Your Own Cabana on the Island
Shaded riverside cabanas with private docks, picnic tables, and BBQ pits — just for your group, for the whole day.
Book a CabanaThis isn't a beach chair under a rented umbrella.
A cabana on Son's Island is your group's own shaded shoreline outpost for the day — with a private dock, BBQ pit, picnic table, hammock, and direct walk-in access to calm spring-fed water. You bring the cooler and the people. We handle the rest.
Your own private dock
Every cabana comes with its own floating dock with ladder — no shared space, no waiting for a spot at the water.
BBQ pit at every cabana
Charcoal grill, picnic table, and bar top with stools. Bring the food and a bag of charcoal — we have the rest.
Shade all day long
Thatched roofs and hammocks keep the cabana cool even in August. No fighting the sun on a public beach.
Walk-in lake access
Calm, spring-fed water just steps from your cabana. Floats, kayaks, and paddle boards available on-site.
Anatomy of a Son's Island Cabana
Every cabana is built around the same idea: shade, your own dock, and a quiet stretch of water for your group.
The shoreline
Cabanas line the calm side of Lake Placid.

A Day at Your Cabana
No itinerary required — but here's what a typical day looks like.
Check in & settle
Park free in our lot, hop on the shuttle, and walk to your cabana. Drop the cooler, claim the hammock.
Fire up the grill
Burgers on the BBQ pit, cold drinks on the bar top, picnic table set under the shade.
On the water
Kayak from your dock, paddle board across Lake Placid, or just float with the family.
Wind down
Sunset over the lake, kids worn out, leftovers wrapped up. Easy walk back to the shuttle.
"It felt like we'd rented our own little island. The kids never got bored, the dads never left the grill, and nobody touched their phones."
Who Books a Cabana

Families
Shallow swim areas, free water toys (with wristband), no glass. Easy day with kids of any age.
