Come visit our western retreat! This house has a long history in my family, my grandparents purchased it nearly 40 years ago and raised 5 children here. After my grandfather passed I was blessed with the opportunity to purchase it. I spent 6 years living and remolding this house before moving to the end of the street into another fix-er up-er.

As you can see in the pictures the entire upstairs has custom hardwood flooring. Each room has a different species of flooring along with a different hardwood trim. Over half of the furniture in the house was been hand made by myself or friends of the family.

The kitchen is fully furnished with all the basic cooking utensils you will need. All of the appliances are full size. The kitchen table is set for 4 but we have had as many as 8 people gather around it for family dinner.

The living room is fitted with a huge leather couch, 1 recliner, and one hand made rocking chair. There are gas logs for your enjoyment in the winter time. Atop the walnut mantel is a 50''Samsung LED tv with a Roku streaming device. Please note the tv is only set up for streaming.

There are 3 Bedrooms upstairs, all of them are full of unique western style furnishings. The master bedroom has a half bath attached to it. As you walk down the hall you will pass the main bathroom with a shower and bathtub.

There is another full size bedroom and bathroom in the basement. The laundry room is just around the corner.

The game room is also located in the basement and has a pool table, vintage arcade, dart board, and a 50'' smart tv for your enjoyment.

This home was built in the 70s and updated in 2018.

Outside you will see that the lake is only about 50 steps away. There are concrete steps all the way into the water. The shoreline is perfect for swimming or just hanging out. The lake bottom is a rock/mud combination. The boat traffic is a safe distance away leaving you several hundred yards of calm area to swim in. There will be plenty of room for a fire on the shoreline as long as the water level isn't higher than normal. With being on the lake there is always a chance of bugs, please understand we do everything we can to keep the outside of the house clean but sometimes it just is not possible. June, July, and August have what is called a Mayfly hatch occasionally, they do not bite and are good for fishing.

We are located on the main channel and not allowed a dock permit. I live at the end of the street and have 3 docks docks on the bay-side that you are welcome to use. My covered dock is about 500' away, you can walk or drive down and park in my driveway. All 3 docks on the bayside are available for your use. They will easily hold 30'-40' boats. You can use the dock overnight. There is no power on the docks.
