Thoughtfully designed for families who value connection, this lakefront retreat is the perfect setting for your next family milestone or a well-earned escape with your children and grandchildren. Morning Coffee and Quiet Connections Start your day in the sun-drenched morning room, curled up on the new sofa with a coffee as the sun rises over Otsego Lake.
