This property includes ample parking with additional parking adjacent to the chalet, well-lit sidewalks and stairways which may be turned off to enjoy the evening under the stars. The outdoor space is just as amazing as the chalet, located in a lush wooded valley with deer, geese, ducks,birds, occasional eagles, breath-taking sunrises and lake views which you may enjoy from one of the two covered decks or the private dock
Perfect for morning coffee, playing games, dining or evening cocktails.
Outdoor activities abound with a new custom private boat dock with huge swim deck, ladder, covered tables and seating area, full fish cleaning station, electric, lights, and fans on a quiet No Wake Cove near ski area.
