About this property

Classic Lakefront Family Retreat, Dock, Hot Tub, Kayaks & Fire Pit

Welcome to Lakewood Drive, a classic family-friendly lakefront retreat on quiet Balch Lake. Enjoy a private swimming dock, 2 kayaks, hot tub, outdoor fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and space to relax by the water.

This home is best suited for families and low-key groups looking to swim, paddle, unwind, and make summer memories together. The area feels peaceful and private while still being a short drive from local shops and restaurants.

This is a relaxed lake house experience, not a resort-style hotel stay. Lake life may include bugs, weather, wildlife, septic care, and seasonal outdoor amenities.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
