About this space
Welcome to a peaceful lakeside retreat designed to bring people together in comfort, relaxation and simplicity. This spacious suite offers a warm and inviting atmosphere where families and groups can enjoy quality time surrounded by natural beauty. The property sits right by the water, giving you open views of the lake from morning until night. You can spend your days relaxing on the large deck, cooking meals on the barbecue, enjoying the private dock or gathering around the fire pit under the night sky. It is a setting meant to help you unwind, reconnect and create lasting memories.
The suite has been arranged with care to make every guest feel settled and comfortable the moment they arrive. Everything inside has been thoughtfully selected to support both restful downtime and fun group moments. Whether you are looking for a quiet escape or an activity filled getaway, this lakeside setting offers the ideal blend of comfort and natural charm.
The space
This spacious suite can host up to fourteen guests and provides plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still feeling connected. Each area of the home combines comfort with thoughtful design so your stay feels effortless from beginning to end. There are four traditional bedrooms along with a fifth room that holds a cozy bunk bed setup that children often love. The master bedroom features a relaxing king sized bed and a private ensuite bathroom, offering a calm retreat after a full day outdoors. The second bedroom has a soft queen sized bed that works well for a couple or a single guest who prefers more space. The third and fourth bedrooms each include two full sized beds and are ideal for families, siblings or friends sharing a room. The fifth room with the bunk bed brings a sense of fun and is perfect for younger guests.
The open concept living area is a welcoming place for everyone to gather. The large television makes movie nights easy and enjoyable. The fireplace adds warmth and a cozy feeling during cooler evenings. Comfortable seating invites long talks, board games or simply relaxing together after a day on the lake. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for a large group. You will find a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, cookware, dishes and utensils. The large dining table brings everyone together for shared meals, morning coffee, evening conversations and everything in between.
Outdoor Living
The outdoor space is one of the highlights of this retreat. Step onto the large deck overlooking the lake and enjoy fresh air, open views and plenty of seating for the whole group. Prepare a meal on the barbecue and enjoy an outdoor dinner surrounded by nature. As the sun sets, take the group to the fire pit where you can relax, roast marshmallows and watch the sky fill with stars. The atmosphere becomes even more peaceful at night and the sound of the water adds to the feeling of calm.
The private dock offers direct access to the lake. Spend the day swimming, paddling, or resting quietly by the water. Early mornings on the dock are perfect for sunrise watching while the evening brings a soft reflection of the moon across the lake. Every moment outside has a sense of calm that is hard to find anywhere else.
Comfort and Safety
To make your stay as smooth and comfortable as possible, the suite is equipped with air conditioning, heating, high speed WiFi and a washer and dryer. These conveniences allow you to enjoy your time without thinking about practical concerns.
