The House: Built in 1998 as a year round residence, in 2008 we added the log siding and cedar deck (14x20) for a more “up north” feel. Inside we added hickory floors, updated the bath fixtures, painted and installed ceiling fans in every room. In 2022 we updated the frig, dishwasher, Smart TV and added an automatic generator. To expand the living space, we finished the front screened porch with pine siding, log furniture and a swinging bench. Eat inside or out with ample seating at pine table inside and teak table for six just outside on the deck. Comfortably sleeps six.
