Hi there! We're the fourth generation of our family to own this lake property, and we love it here. We've made so many great memories over the years, and we're excited to be able to share it with you.

The lake house is located on a small, quiet lake with access to some great trail systems. It's the perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We like to keep things casual around the lake and end our evenings with an evening fire.
We've recently updated the lake house, but kept some of the original charm. We want you to feel like you're part of our family when you stay here, relaxed and comfortable!

We looking forward to hearing from you soon!
