Perched neatly at the south end of the lake is the aptly named Lucerne Lookout, a cottage made for a family that wants to enjoy a week of quiet relaxation, swimming, and good times at the waterfront. The cottage will take you a little by surprise, much in the same way the Tardis does - it's bigger inside than it looks. A split-bungalow design (walkout to deck/patio on both levels), it provides plenty of space for a group to enjoy communal time as well as places to retreat for quieter times. The lower level features 2 bedrooms with lake views as well as laundry and a 4-piece bath. As a bonus, there is a media/sitting room here - a perfect spot for a rainy day or late-night movie. Upstairs is where this cottage really shines. Two large bedrooms as well as the kitchen, dining and living areas adorn this level, with the living and dining rooms enjoying the nicest lake views of all. The kitchen has all you need for cottage cooking and your group will enjoy the lakeview dining indoors as well as stepping outside to enjoy a burger or hot dog offered up by the family grill master. Down the stairs to the waterfront, you'll find a spacious dock and a small beach area - offering both shallow and deeper water swimming. A canoe will let you paddle leisurely around the lake, and you won't be bothered by motorized craft here - just the ripples your own paddles create. A fire pit adjacent to the cottage lets you enjoy the eternal tradition of the evening campfire. A ghost story and a couple of roasted marshmallows are the perfect end to a day in cottage country. Out and about?
