The quaint, lake town cottage is just a few short minutes from several private community beaches and sits on a quiet lot off the main country road. The house was originally put up as a single room summer escape. In 2021, we finished a complete gut renovation. The finished house was recently featured in Dwell magazine. We've provided modern luxuries for our oasis in the woods while maintaining its quaint feeling! Summer Guests enjoy several beaches with lake access in the community. Guests can have access for a small fee required by the HOA. Surrounded by forest, there is plenty of hiking in the area as well.
