Rentals and Groups

Lake Bonavista Homeowners Association (LBHA) is happy to offer our members the ability to host a larger group. We do limit the number and size of large groups so that our building, beaches, and ice surfaces do not become over crowded. For outdoor gatherings, we offer one group of up to 25 guests per day anywhere in the park, and one group of up to 50 guests per day in the Niven area (April - October only). For indoor gatherings, we offer one group of up to 50 people (members and guests) in the Bonavista Room.

Senior members may contact LBHA to book a large group. This must be done at least one week in advance. Members can do this via email, telephone, or in person in the office.
