The secluded Lakefront home is on almost two acres of wooded land with pine, oak, magnolia, and hickory trees. Enjoy the beautiful waterfront views from the indoor living area, large wrap-around deck, or brand new dock with sundeck and screen in the room. Starlink Wi-Fi is available at the house. Walk from the deck of the house on a wooden walkway down to our beautiful large dock. The dock has a large screened-in room with a comfortable love seat, two lounge chairs, a coffee table, an end table, and a ceiling fan with light. This is the perfect spot to relax, read, enjoy the lakefront, or even bring the laptop down for work outside. There is also a large sundeck with two Adirondack chairs and a chaise lounge for sitting outside to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. We also have an outdoor shower on the dock to shower off after your swim. The pontoon housed in the boat house on the dock is available for rental at an additional charge. Please contact for more information. The house is on a private, spring-fed lake recognized for excellent fishing, swimming, relaxing, floating on a raft, boating, and skiing. Be sure to try out some fishing, as our lake is great for catching bass, bluegill, and sunfish. Fishing poles and tackle are provided. Enjoy the 2-person kayak or single kayak around the large lake. The spotless waterfront home has two good-sized bedrooms, one renovated bathroom, and a large open-concept living area comprising the brand new kitchen, dining area, and living room with panoramic lakefront views. Both bedrooms are outfitted with gorgeous Amish-made solid wood furniture. The kitchen is fully stocked to prepare your meals in-house. The large, solid wood, Amish-made breakfast nook is perfect for gathering the family around to share in the bounty from your lake fishing. Outside dining on the deck on a beautiful poly lumber Amish patio set is also available. Our home will surely become your home away from home and the perfect retreat to get away from it all! COVID-19 CDC Sanitation and Safety Protocols With cleanliness being more important than ever, I wanted to let you know what we are doing to keep our property germ-free and our guests safe.

We spent most of our time on the dock in the screen room. Our dog loved the large property. Only negative thing was we did not want to leave. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. ##### Patty G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie A.

Loved the screened dock room and watching the eagles and noted that there was a barred owl nearby. Went kayaking and hiked the nearby trails. Even watch a SpaceX rocket launch. My dog enjoyed the thrill of the hunt with the lizards who teased her at every turn. So relaxing and rejuvenating! ##### Marie A.

If solitude is your goal, this is the place. The cottage is well maintained, and the lake is beautiful. Perfect for flat water kayaking and fishing. The host has thought of everything and the furnishings were of top quality. Should have booked our entire vacation there. Thank you ##### David W.

This is our second stay and we enjoyed it as much or more this time as we did the first time. It is so nice to have a vacation place that allows us to take our dog along and NOT have to worry about her one little bit. She feels right at home!!! Linse is a jewel and she and her husband have created a special place to share with others that offers a chance for their tenants to get back to what is truly important in life. We are trying to decide now when we want to go back!! Thanks Linse and Jim! Dianne and Gene ##### Dianne P. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alena B.

The house was adorable, clean and comfortable and the property was absolutely stunning. We took the pontoon boat out on the lake twice and even though the temperature was a little chilly the boat was really fun!! Our puppies even loved the pontoon rides. We hiked some local trails for 3 days and loved coming back to the comfy house (with an absolutely stunning view). We had a fire in the firepit and roasted sausages and marshmellows which was perfect for our chilly weather. Linse was an amazing host and made the entire process easy. She also left us a warm welcome note and bottle of champaign - what a sweet way to start off a little adventure. The reference book was full of things to do, places to go and had all the instructions you need, (I wish every VRBO owner did this) which makes the stay so much more pleasant. I would reccomend this place to anyone who would want to have a "base camp" for local activities or someone that wants a lovely place to relax. I would definately love to come back and stay here. Thank you Linse, you and your lovely house was fabulous!! ##### Alena B. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David G.
