There is a large brick patio, and an 8 foot wide dock. The patio has 2 tables, comfortable outdoor furniture, a gas grill and an outdoor fireplace. The entire property is beautifully planted with flowers. Don't be surprised if a Great Blue Heron shows up on the dock! Boat docking for a small (no longer than 18-19 feet) boat may be arranged. There is a marina one block away,if you want to rent a boat on a daily "as you go" basis. Our dock is shared by the owner and several other boats. The boat dockers are strictly "load and go." They do not use the dock except to access their boats. They are very friendly people, and respect your privacy. We are a one block walk to Hague Beach and park, which is a great spot for swimming, picnics, etc. There is a lifeguard on duty at the Beach. There is also a children's playground at the park.
The first floor consists of a great room living and dining area. There is a queen-size sleep sofa in the living room. The entire lake side of the living/dining area is glass windows overlooking the lake. This room faces east, so if you are an early riser you will be treated to gorgeous sunrises across the lake. The living area has a 19 inch color/cable TV with VCR and DVD. There is also a small CD player. A highlight of the living area is a beautiful stained glass window.
The living/dining area is separated from the kitchen by a great bar/breakfast counter. This is the perfect spot for eating, or relaxing with a drink. The kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size stove and refrigerator, as well as a microwave oven, toaster oven, coffee maker, blender, electric griddle, blender, and all basic cooking as serving utensils. Upstairs the master bedroom is a large room featuring a queen-size bed next to a huge picture window overlooking the lake. relax while listening to the sound of waves lapping the shore! The master bedroom opens to a balcony overlooking the lake. This is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise, or catch a spectacular moon rise across the lake. The balcony is rimmed with flower boxes. This room also has a dresser, a desk, a small sofa, and a twin-size bed. There is a large closet in this room.
The second bedroom has a double bed and a twin bed, as well as a desk and dresser. This bedroom faces lake.
Both bedrooms are air conditioned, and have TV's with DVD players.
Both bedrooms open to the delightful sleeping/lounging porch. This room is ringed with windows overlooking the lake, and has a futon bed and a small table and chairs.
