Nature at Your Doorstep
Just a short stroll across the yard, the lake beckons. Lounge in Adirondack chairs on the dock, enjoy the stunning sunsets, or take a refreshing swim.

Wake up in the plush queen-sized bed, bathed in the soft morning light, and start your day with a sense of tranquility. The cozy bathroom, just steps from the bedroom, is designed for comfort, complete with a heated ceramic tile floor and a shower with a bench and a transom window so you can enjoy the fresh air. Essentials like a hair dryer, toiletries, towels, and laundry supplies are all provided, along with a washer and dryer and an iron/ironing board tucked into the hallway closets.
