What makes this property unique
The Oaks has a panoramic view of Spider Lake which is beautiful any time of the year.
While we have our own sandy swimming area, we are across from a small island for exploring and sandbars for swimming. The road is a peninsula with woods in the center. You will often see deer there, or on our property. Come see for yourself. You will have a wonderful time!
