Like fire?….. this property has an outdoor gas fire table to enjoy the night away. This waterfront Lakehouse has so many areas to put your feet up, sip your favorite beverage, and enjoy. Inside, you will find cathedral ceilings, spectacular views, a modern, fully stocked kitchen with double oven and large island, indoor dining, spacious living room, and 3 cozy bedrooms. Additional amenities include 2 kayaks, and 2 beach cruiser bicycles to ride around the lake. Watch all your weekend sports on the 85 inch TV in the living room! Free Wifi across the entire property and a nice corner desk included for use in case work calls.

Our family really enjoyed the hot tub/jacuzzi as well as swimming and kayaking in the lake. The kids were extremely excited about the hammock and loft beds. The owners put a lot of time and effort into making the entire house an experience. The outdoor living spaces, especially were thoughtfully put together and provided. Definitely would stay here again. ##### David and Sarah N. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol G.

Jul 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible lake house My husband and I rented this house for a 5 day getaway. The house is beautiful and perfectly located right on the water. Very nicely decorated on the inside and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Tom met us there when we checked in to make sure we knew where everything was and how to use lights, speakers, outdoor fans etc…There are 2 kayaks which we took out every morning. It’s a small private lake so it’s very quiet and peaceful. The outdoor space is wonderful. Great fans on the deck so it was comfortable to sit outside even on a hot day. Highly recommend this house and I would definitely stay here again ##### Kim V.
