Enjoy a slower pace, aka "Lake Life" at our Paradise at Pier 124 on Stone Lake. Our home is located directly on the lake (a no-wake lake with a maximum of 10mph), offering easy access to the water. You can jump in from our private pier (pier removed during cold season Oct 15 through Apr 15) or use the provided kayaks to explore the water. The shallow sandy lake bottom is perfect for children to play and wade, making it a great spot for families to enjoy the water safely. Stone Lake is perfect for fishing—bring your own gear and cast from the dock or out in the paddle boat or kayaks. The lake connects to another no-wake lake, which you can explore by kayak. Whether fishing, kayaking, or just relaxing, this is the perfect family getaway.
