Experience a peaceful vacation at this charming two-story home, featuring a private dock, a swimmable beach area, and serene lake views. When you’re not fishing, swimming, or exploring the lake on the provided paddleboard or kayaks, you’ll find several must-see attractions just a few miles away. Capture the perfect selfie at Claire D' Loon, enjoy the trails at WinMan Trails cycling park, or visit Schomberg County Park. For year-round family fun, head to Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort, located just 33 miles from your door.
Back at your lakeside retreat, the well-equipped island kitchen is perfect for everything from your morning coffee to elaborate dinners. Gather in the dining area or enjoy al fresco meals on the furnished deck, which provides a lovely setting for outdoor dining. Two upper-floor living areas offer comfortable seating and smart TVs ready for streaming your favorite shows. The additional basement living space is ideal for younger guests seeking their own retreat during your stay.
Outside, discover multiple decks, including a lakeside dock perfect for relaxing afternoons, a picnic table for meals with a view, and a firepit for evening gatherings under the stars.
This home also features a washer and dryer, allowing you to pack light for your visit. Please note that this property does not have A/C.
