Specifically designed to accommodate multiple families, retreats, and large groups, this home is the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The home is situated in Brushy Creek in Arley, located at the end of a channel in a cove which provides both beautiful, scenic views and calm waters for easy swimming and kayaking that is uninterrupted by boat wakes (ideal for children!)
