Large front yard for additional activities such as wiffle ball, volleyball, tag football, etc.. Fishing right from the pier is fantastic.

The frontyard is large and flat and has a cute amish built kids playhouse that has a kids sleeping loft, couch, TV/VCR (the kids love the playhouse).

Ice Fishing right outside the door on our 600+ acre lake and several wineries nearby that would love you to swing by to try some samples, open year round.

Several golf courses and a driving range in the area, the closest an eight-minute drive. Horseback riding, winery tours and road biking from your doorstep to a few minutes away (email me for any specifics you need). Plenty of restaurants and entertainment in Marcellus/Lawton/PawPaw (pubs, restaurants, movies, bowling, ice cream barns, antique shops).

Our lake home is clean and kid friendly. We have a good assortment of kid and adult games that we leave up year round. Pets allowed on a case by case basis. No smoking in house.

In the long term we are looking for a small, trusted group of families and responsible adults to rent to when we are not at the lake ourselves.
