As with all Trillium properties, your ownership includes generational privileges. Membership at Trillium Links & Lake Club is available, though not required. This membership provides exceptional access to numerous amenities, including an 18-hole championship links golf course, boat rentals and activities on Lake Glenville, indoor and outdoor tennis, pickleball, croquet, a fitness center, hiking trails, kids' programs, and an on-site chapel with seasonal services. Dining options include the recently renovated Clubhouse (completed in 2023) and the spectacular new Landings lakefront facility, which is expected to open this summer. A place for family, a home in the mountains.
