Beautiful views of the lake from the picture windows in the living area. North Bay is quiet and the sand beach on the property is a rare find. The dock was perfect for fishing, caught some largemouth, catfish and bluegill. The water trampoline and kayak available were an added bonus for the family to enjoy.
