Wake up to Lake of Egypt views from Summer's Cove - a charming lake house that's pet-friendly, family-friendly, and right on the water.
THE SPACE
Three bedrooms, two baths, sleeps 9 (7 comfortably). Bedrooms 1 and 2 each have a queen bed; Bedroom 3 has a queen plus a bunk bed - perfect for kids or extra guests. A futon downstairs adds another sleeping spot, and a folding cot upstairs for visiting youth.
The open kitchen and floor plan are made for gathering. Cook in the fully-stocked kitchen, eat together at the dining table, then drift out to the screened-in porch with rocking chairs and lake views. Newly remodeled with a fun retro vibe - and professionally cleaned between every stay.
There is an extra folding table and chairs under the stairs for if family comes by to share a meal.

A NOTE ABOUT THE LAKE
This is a real lake property - meaning spider webs and the occasional creepy crawly may show up even after a thorough cleaning. We do our best, but nature wins sometimes.
