About this property

Charming Cottage Retreat - Your Home Away from Home!

This cozy, charming cottage is perfect for your next vacation.
The beautiful lake in front of you is Big Blue. Crystal clear water and 86’ feet at its
deepest point. Trout and BlueGill are the primary fish in the lake. Big Blue is an all
sports lake with tubing, water skiing and jet skis. Walk out the door and take the road
on your right straight across to North Blue. 76’ feet at its deepest point, North Blue is a
no wake lake perfect for kayaking or fishing. Crystal clear water in beautiful shades of
blue and green. Some say the water reminds them of the Caribbean.
