Take the short stroll down the path to your dock slip and lake access and hop on your boat for a lap around the lake on perfectly sunny days. When evenings roll around meet back up around the campfire and enjoy the warmth of the fire and the warmth of each other’s company. Still have to do some work to do taking you away from the lakeside fun? No worries, all three bedroom suites have office desks great for knocking out some work before joining back in on the adventures. The guest house is also perfect for teens and kids that want some of their own space. With a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and loft area, it’s a retreat in it of itself.

The home was beautiful. Perfect size for my family. We needed all the space and it was a time well spent for Christmas. We loved the home. It had more than enough cooking sets, plates and cups and the cooking ware was of great quality. It even had the home decorated for the holidays so it was perfect. Nothing needed to be changed.

Great home

Beautiful property for a family reunion. There was plenty to do for all ages and the home was equipped just as advertised. Most of the beds were very comfortable. The floor plan of the houses allowed enough flexibility to accomodate preferences of both young and old.
