Our home features high-end finishes, spacious living areas, and a fantastic backyard designed to accommodate two to four families or large groups with ease.

Together, they span over 700 acres of spring-fed, crystal-clear water. Start your day with a sunrise coffee on the deck, swim in the sandy-bottom lake, and end the evening with a bonfire on the beach as the sun sets. Guests enjoy 100 ft of private sandy beachfront, a dock, kayaks, and pedal boat (available May–October). The public boat launch is just two minutes away, making it easy to bring your own boat for tubing, fishing, wakeboarding, or cruising. Marywood Cottage is designed for year-round fun.
