Make memories around the bonfire

Private lakeside bonfires with wood-fired pizza, s'mores, and wine. Friday and Saturday evenings all season long.

Sunset, s'mores, and the people you love

There's something about a bonfire that makes everything slow down. The sun dips below the trees, the fire crackles, and suddenly you're laughing harder, talking longer, and making the kind of memories that stick. Our private beach bonfires give you a reserved lakeside spot, a fire lit and tended by our staff, and all the food and drinks you need for an unforgettable evening at the water's edge.
