This wonderful, private Chalet-Style home is the perfect place to gather with your favorite people! Open-concept/very large, comfortable entertaining areas on two of the four levels. 4200 square feet! TONS of room to gather…or sneak off for a nap! The spacious, well-stocked “chef’s” kitchen is a great layout…and has all the essential cookware to prepare great meals without being crowded…or being excluded from the activity on the main level and patio. The wonderful, large dining table and benches seats 16 adults…and seemingly countless kids. It is great for games and puzzles. The adjoining granite kitchen island seats many more…and a covered patio is just outside the dining area. The large covered deck/patio features a propane gas grill, table space up to 18…and lots of deck space. Everyone can eat together! Plenty of service and storage space, too! Indoor and outdoor dining areas offer built-in buffet/bar serving space for your meals and “happy hours,” too! Bedrooms galore…7, in total- on 3 of the 4 levels. 4 bathrooms, all with bathing facilities. 2 TV areas…with cable channels, streaming and DVD use…to curl up for a movie night- or watch a ball game together. There is also lots of indoor and outdoor privacy- with quiet spaces to connect, play board games, try your hand at Hammerschlagen, create crafts, enjoy a book, or just enjoy the solitude. The largest of the decks overlooks the lower level patio area/fire pit area and the private lakefront beach. There is space in the yard and parking areas for most yard games. There is a swing-set/kiddie swing area around in the front yard, opposite the lake. An additional lakeside deck (and sand beach area) await! On the waterfront, a flat sand beach area…and an additional 16x14’ deck rests atop the boat house. It is an ideal spot to soak up some sun, star-gaze, keep an eye on the lake activity, or enjoy a cool beverage as you wind-down your day with an epic lake sunset….or some star-gazing. We provide Adirondack and Beach chairs. Lots of inflatable toys, a Lily pad float, 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and a canoe are available for you to use. Life vests are provided and required, please. Bring or Rent a boat…Take a dip off the private 40 foot dock, drop a fishing line, put your feet up, hop a boat…or paddle off for an adventure! Shallow graded access is ideal for all ages and swimmers. The lake offers excellent year-round fishing. Lots of “first fish” are caught- right off the dock! We are excited to share our place with you! We know you will love it here…and will long to return!
