– DETAILS –
You have full exclusive access to the entire home and property during your stay, including the dock. You are welcome to bring your boat(s) to tie up at the dock during your stay. Your Host does not stay at the property.
Summer: Enjoy all 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a second kitchen on the third floor.
Winter: The house features 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, as part of the property is closed for the season. Bedroom #4 (with a double bed) is not available.
The “summer” season is between May 1st and November 1st. If booking outside of this season, be mindful of the reduced number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the accessibility of the driveway (see below). Feel free to send us a message if anything is not clear.

You MUST have a 4WD vehicle to use the driveway. Otherwise, you can park at the top and walk down 125 steps (skip the gym) to access the house and lakefront. You can comfortably fit one vehicle at the waterfront. Additional parking is available at the top of the driveway.
