Lake Cottage + Party Dock + Fire Pit + Game Room + Loft
Get ready to get lost at Castaway Cove. The cottage has been remodeled top to bottom and is fully stocked for your pleasure.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Lake life is about outdoor living even when you have to come off the boat - so we hope you enjoy our outdoor living areas.
DECK AND SCREENED IN PORCH
Our 800 sq foot deck includes a large Screened In Porch that features a dining table (seats 8), bar, conversation set and flat screen TV perfect for watching college football or Sunday games with both SEC and Red Zone channels. We are fully stocked with melamine dishware for outdoor dining. Enjoy the lake in style without the bugs!
Our sun deck includes a 5 burner gas grill for your use, plenty of lounging space and space off of the master bedroom with rocking chairs and tables to enjoy morning coffee as you watch the family of deer who frequent the woods around the house.
DOCK
A two story dock with sundeck is perfect for sunbathing, relaxing or watching the sunset. The dock is great for swimming and fishing. There is a swim ladder to get into the water easily - but the cove is not that deep - so no diving off the top deck. Bring your own lake towels!
We also have a tandem (two person) kayak for your use.
Unlike many houses at the Lake , our path to the dock is a nice level stroll! Just follow the lit path.
OTHER OUTDOOR AREAS
Outdoor Shower - On the side of the house - a shower to wash the lake off before you enter the house.
Fire Pit - Enjoy the fire pit as you sit in the Adirondack chairs. Roast marshmallows and make s'mores. Outdoor string lights add ambiance.

Swing - A fun swing in the trees.

Cozy stay
We spent a long weekend at this cozy lake house. We love it as it is well located in a secluded neighborhood with a secluded dock. Beautifully appointed and a great living space. Our only comment is that they should provide lake towels but other than that amazing experience!
