About this property

Jewelbox Cottage - Dog-friendly Lakefront home with private dock, canoe & SUPs

Looking for a waterfront cottage on a flat lot? This whimsical lakefront home is mere steps from the lake, with no steep hillside to trek down to the water.

The sand beach allows for children and adults to walk right in, play on the shore, and easily launch canoes and paddleboards. You'll love the private dock with a slide and jumping platform. Relax on the porch with rocking chairs to enjoy the sunset over the lake. Your magical outdoor dining area in a shaded lush garden includes a large table with plenty of seating and serving room on a cobblestone patio set under evening twinkle lights.

Ready for family fun, your three-bedroom, two-bath home has a large mudroom/laundry room and a firepit with ample Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake. Paddleboards and a three-person canoe await you, with adult life jackets. There's also a ping-pong table as well as fishing rods and supplies.

Inside, the sparkling full kitchen boasts stainless steel kitchen appliances, a long center island table, plus a dining table for your meals. Extras include a slow cooker, mixers, ample tableware and serving ware, and all the gadgets for easy meal prep.

The newly completely renovated bathrooms feature natural stone and river rock shower floors and rainfall shower heads. The great sectional sofa and lovely wooden beams complement the main living area with plenty of ceiling fans throughout.

The high-speed WiFi is wonderful here - the best on the lake and perfect for video streaming, work from home, and social media. Flick on the smart TV with a DVD player to stream all your favorite shows. This home is stocked with movies, books, and games for the whole family for hours of enjoyment and family fun.

Cottage is very nice. Everything is on one level. You don’t need to climb stairs to get into the cottage. We brought our small dog who enjoyed his stay there. The booking and check-in process was very smooth. Grocery stores are about 15 to 20 minutes away so bringing all the items you will need to cook would be a good idea. There are a couple of restaurants close by, but we did not go to any as we enjoy cooking and having family dinners together.

Much smaller than the photos implied. The walkway off of the back porch is deteriorating and needs maintenance. The step from the shore to the dock has a large eroded area where a person could possibly break their leg. The patio area is very uneven making it virtually unusable.

Jewelbox Cottage is a great little getaway spot, even with the very low water. It's well stocked with the basics, lots of games, the water is amazingly cool & so green and the whole house is very cozy.
