Arrival is by boat, and the moment you step onto the dock, the noise of everyday life disappears. No roads. No cars. Just water, trees, and the rhythm of the lake setting the pace. Mornings begin with swims straight from the private dock, coffee enjoyed as the lake reflects the sky, and paddleboards gliding across glass-calm water. With 80 feet of dock space, kayaking, fishing, and floating become part of the daily routine. The cove stays peaceful throughout the day, making it ideal for swimming from dawn to dusk. Inside, cathedral ceilings and expansive windows draw the lake into every space. The living area feels open and relaxed, perfect for long conversations, reading, or simply watching the light move across the water. The kitchen is fully stocked for shared meals, and the dining table easily gathers everyone together. Just off the kitchen, the outdoor grill and deck make lakeside dinners effortless. Afternoons unfold slowly. Trails out back invite island walks to scenic overlooks and St. John’s Church, while the dock and yard remain the heart of the home. As evening arrives, the outdoor fireplace becomes the gathering place. Drinks are poured, stories are shared, and the lake settles into stillness as the sky fades. When night comes, the bedrooms offer quiet, cool lake air and deep rest. With space to sleep up to ten comfortably, everyone has room to unwind after full days outdoors. This is island living at its best—simple, peaceful, and deeply memorable. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,238 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22730000/22726600/22726578/2aa49a9a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront Home, Snowmobilers & Cross Country Skiiers Paradise!

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather C. 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My sister and I stayed with our 2 families of 4 very comfortably!! The perfect rustic cabin feel with modern amenities. We had a wonderful time on the island as this beautiful piece of paradise! The location was great with our kids having a safe place to swim off the dock. There are great walking paths right behind the house that go up to the old church. The beds were very cozy we slept like babies. It was great having such a big table for meals for mine and my sister’s families to eat together and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Having the kids bedrooms and a play area upstairs was perfect for rainy nights and the fire place on the porch was an added bonus. Definitely recommend this for an enchanted lake retreat! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/605d35d7-81c2-4bbf-8524-de2a41c77850-1753590848375.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d95c8938-ebe6-4657-ac7c-acb851d5bbd2-1753591014677.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Heather C.
