Waterfront Retreat with Hot Tub
Welcome to Sunset Shores, your private one-bedroom luxury retreat on the serene shores of the Lake of Egypt. This is the perfect getaway for relaxation and waterfront fun, offering panoramic lake views from every single room.
This listing is for the exclusive use of the upper level of a spacious home. For your complete privacy and peace of mind, the lower level remains vacant during your stay and is not rented out separately.
Step outside onto the climate-controlled patio to soak in the scenery, or follow the gentle slope down to your private beach area and dock in a quiet cove. Spend your days exploring the lake with the provided kayaks or simply unwind in the brand-new hot tub overlooking the water.
Key Features & Amenities:
Waterfront Views: Enjoy stunning lake vistas from the living room, kitchen, dining room, and deck.
Private Hot Tub: Relax in the new hot tub, perfectly positioned on the lower-level patio for the best views.
Direct Lake Access: A private dock and gentle slope to the water make lake activities effortless.
Outdoor Living: Make use of the charcoal grill for cookouts and gather around the fire pit in the evenings.
Kayaks Provided: Two kayaks are available for you to explore the quiet cove and beyond.
Connectivity: Complimentary WiFi is included for your convenience.
