This varies a bit by cabin but here's the answer:
Cabin 1:
Master Bedroom - We only use the wall heater in the master bathroom to keep this room warm and we have a window unit to keep the room cool.
Main Room - Split unit remote control.
Guest Room - Window unit for AC and Wall Heater for heat. Both are controlled locally.
Cabin 2:
Master Bedroom - We only use the wall heater in the master bathroom to keep this room warm but the wall-mounted split unit has both AC and a Heat Pump that is controlled by the remote mounted on the wall next to the bed. We keep both cool by the same remote. There is no AC in the master bathroom so keep the door open as much as you can.
Main Room - Split Unit remote control. The wall-mounted heater and window unit are disconnected.
Guest Room - Window unit for AC and Wall Heater for heat. Both are controlled locally.
There are three lots. The Cabins and Pavilion are on two.

I've heard there are scorpions but they're rare
Spiders around but they've never caused any issues

Yes for inside the cabins but you'll need to bring your own beach towels for outside if you plan to get wet.
A large charcoal BBQ pit in the common area (the Rick Deck). It's shared so please be considerate to other guests.
A propane grill on the cabins deck that's shared between the two cabins. It's on the deck between the cabins.
A Charcoal grill for each cabin. These are 25" wide x 17" deep x 11" high, similar to what you'd see at a campsite.
We don't provide firewood, charcoal or lighter fluid.
We don't have a smoker.
We have several kayaks, two paddle boats available.
Some floats and other types of boats may be available on a limited basis.
Feel free to bring your boats, canoes or floats.
Two public boat ramps and one at the Marina. The closest is about a mile away.
You can park your boats on the shore.
There are stumps in the lake, so be careful boating, but we boat all the time.

We typically have some firewood available but you can feel free to gather sticks, pinecones, leaves etc to pile in the firepit. There is always something there to burn but firewood is not guaranteed.
Yes, the water in the cabins and at the outdoor kitchen is "City Water." It's pumped from the lake to a treatment facility and then pumped back to us. It tastes delicious in my opinion and it's all we drink when we're there.
