4 Bedrooms, 4½ Bathrooms, Sleeps 8! Come Visit 'Carter Cook Retreat'!

Spacious 4BR/4.5BA lakefront retreat (sleeps 8) with game room, dockhouse, kayaks, and stunning lake views — dog-friendly and perfect for family fun!

Welcome to your perfect lakefront getaway! This spacious 4-bedroom, 4½-bath home sleeps 8 comfortably and is designed with families in mind. Large windows fill the house with natural light and frame beautiful lake views, while the cozy gas fireplaces (available October–April) make it a true year-round retreat.

The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a breeze, and the attached garage includes an extra fridge for all your favorites. Downstairs, the lower-level game room is perfect for kids (and kids at heart!) to unwind after a day on the water.

Step outside to enjoy a stationary dock with boat tie-up, electricity, lighting, and a swim platform for endless summer fun. The dockhouse with a fridge keeps cold drinks close by, and guests can explore the water with provided kayaks and a paddleboard.

With WiFi, pet-friendly accommodations, all bedrooms equipped with 40" TVs, and plenty of space for everyone to relax, this home is the ideal spot to create lasting memories by the lake — whether you’re fishing, swimming, boating, or just taking in the sunset from the deck.

Sorry, covered boat slip & hoist are not available for tenant use.
