CJ, your review slipped by me. I apologize for failing to respond to your kind remarks about your stay with us. You covered quite a lot of ground, but I especially identify with your mention of the main deck.. Catch it at various moments during the day, and it is lard to escape its allure overlooking the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Terry McGauvran

Host profile image
Our family, after years of considering a lake house, acted upon our dream in 2017 after discovering our future waterfront home at Saunders Point. Our adult children and their partners have always enjoyed outdoor activities on the water. So upon seeing this special place, all agreed that Shangri-la is where we need to be. -

Why they chose this property

Love all the space this property provides, and the large main deck with two tables and chairs, not to mention the lake views. The structural offset of 4 individual town homes gives it a private feel with the landscaping and terraced steps to the water an added plus.

What makes this property unique

Being here on the forested southeastern shore of the lake is like stepping back to a simpler place and time. A place for renewal. Whether fishing, swimming, kayaking, or walking nearby hiking trails, or perhaps simply relaxing on our decks overlooking the water, we invite you to settle back and share the joy of this natural setting with us.
