About this property

Newly Remodeled! Peaceful and Private Lakefront, The Avalon Sunshine Cottage

Enjoy a peaceful, private, woodsy setting with your own private dock and beach, along with breathtaking lake, sunrise, and sunset views. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom lakefront home features a great room with wood vaulted ceiling, which is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Dining, great room seating, and beds will accommodate 8 adults comfortably, up to 10 with children.

The property is newly remodeled with a washer & dryer, dishwasher, coffee bar, and two new bathrooms. Kitchen basics are available for cooking and basic needs, along with linens including bedding, bath towels, and beach towels. Wifi and a desk area are available for any work or streaming needs. A fully stocked game, puzzle, book, and toy cupboard will entertain all ages. A portable high chair and pack-n-play make your stay with kids easier.

Lake Avalon is a crystal clear, Caribbean blue, sandy bottom lake, approximately five miles around. It is perfect for swimming, relaxing on the dock, and paddling in the kayaks. There is plenty of space to tie your pontoon boat, water ski boat, fishing boat, or jet skis to the dock, with a public access just around the corner.

Other favorite ways to relax are rocking in chairs on the covered porch overlooking the lake, enjoying s'mores over the campfire, or touring nearby Hillman and neighboring towns. This vacation rental will please any time of the year!
