The well-thought-out design of the home is spread across three levels with ample room for multiple families to spread out and enjoy, yet cozy enough for comfortable relaxation. Immediately, you will be drawn to the ever-present, MAJESTIC MAIN LAKE VIEWS from every bedroom and living space in the house!

Being just steps from the water allows for endless fun and enjoyment including swimming, floating (multiple floats, noodles, etc. provided), kayaking (2 provided), paddle boarding (1 provided), boating, tubing, fishing, etc. Others around the lake will have no problem finding you for an evening get together with friends. The home offers 5 BEDROOMS and 3.5 BATHROOMS. TWO MASTER SUITES with en suite bathrooms and walk-in closets (and great views of the lake) are available. Groups of kids can be separated into either of TWO BUNK ROOMS, making this a perfect location for multiple families (extra cot provided for use as needed). Adults will appreciate that even with a large group, the sleeping and common spaces allow for a feeling of privacy and discretion. Enjoy the lakeside firepit (NEW ADIRONDACK CHAIRS AND FIRE PIT FOR 2021) and s’mores on those chilly evenings. Cornhole boards are also provided for your enjoyment.

An additional bedroom with a set of bunkbeds is also located on the lower level. The lower level walks out to a covered patio for outdoor dining, just steps to the lake. You will find two more very large bedrooms (with incredible views of the main lake) upstairs with an additional full bathroom.

Steps at the water’s edge allow for gradual entry to the water in about 2 to 3 feet of water, or feel free to jump in off the end of the dock into 6+ feet of water.
