Meticulously planned and sitting on the banks of Big St. Germain Lake, this spectacular five-bedroom house is the perfect fusion of modern comfort and lake house charm, ideal for your next vacation with family and friends! Big St. Germain Lake is a 1,600-acre recreational lake ideal for water sport activities such as water and jet skiing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming right from the dock! Fishermen can reel in trout, musky, walleye, and bass. St. Germain Sport Marine is less than five miles away, with plenty of boat rentals available, from jet skis to pontoons. Winter guests will even be able to rent snowmobiles for some cold-weather adventure. Take the family out to enjoy a good hike on Shannon Lake Hiking Trail, Awassa Trail, or Fern Ridge Hiking Trail, all five miles or less from the home.

Inside, the living area is bright and spacious, with spectacular lake views through wall-to-wall windows. Guests will love kicking back in the great room, dressed in luxurious furniture, a mounted flatscreen TV, and a stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, with access to the covered back deck furnished with a swinging bench and comfy chairs. The screened porch is the ideal setting for catching up with old friends over glasses of chilled wine while the kids explore the yard with the family dogs.

The gourmet kitchen is the dream of any family chef, with gleaming countertops and high-end appliances that include a French-door refrigerator and dishwasher, a large pantry, and a center prep island with breakfast bar seating for four, plus a high chair for the little one. The handsome dining table has plenty of seating for up to 10 dinner guests and there is a barbecue dining area right outside the screened porch with two picnic tables and a gas grill, perfect for your next grill session. Good thing too, because after a day on the lake with the home's complimentary rowboat, kayaks, and canoe, there's nothing like throwing a little char on some freshly caught fish!

Gather everyone around the furnished firepit area to spend an evening savoring toasted s'mores and constellations while waves lap against the shoreline just beyond. When it's time to wrap up the night, you'll have five bedrooms and additional sleeping arrangements in the loft to take advantage of, each with its own mounted TV and unique furnishings. The main bedroom enjoys access to an en-suite bath through sliding barn doors, plus access to the covered deck.

Wake up to the aromas of freshly-brewed coffee and head out to the private dock to enjoy the sunrise with a favorite novel. Spend a day in the sun and don't forget to visit the wet bar when it's time to take a break from all the fun. The home's private washer/dryer will keep everyone's laundry sparkling clean, so you can afford to pack light for your trip. Challenge someone to a game of Ping-Pong while the kids play each other with the provided children’s games. Have some work to do while you're here? The home's high-speed WiFi makes it quick and easy for remote workers and students to complete their projects on time. The central AC will keep everything nice and cool during those hot summer months.

THINGS TO KNOW
Rowboat, kayaks, canoe, paddle pontoon boat, ping pong tables, cornhole set, towable tube, air compressor, & beach chairs all available

Fall at summer breeze
We lived our 5 day visit to this lovely home. Very well appointed and everything you need. I would recommend if you plan to cook in, be sure to bring any seasonings,spices,oils etc. Often people will leave these things behind, but the only thing they had was salt and pepper. Not a issue, just a heads up for next renters. The kitchen had all appliances you’ll need. The house was beautifully decorated and the outside area was perfect for relaxing and having a fire in the evenings. We will definitely go back again. And if you need more room, the owner also rents the home right next door that is brand new.

Lovely home after shoveling my way in
Gorgeous home in a perfect location. Walking distance to two restaurants and beautiful views of the lake. Disappointing that after I asked the driveway and walk be shoveled before our arrival, knowing they were getting lots of snow. The managements response was, “ I'm so sorry for the condition of the driveway! We usually supply the homes with a shovel so that guests can plow the driveway if they are able to”. I am sorry but I expect that to be done for us seeing as we paid over $3000 to stay there. The following day it was shoveled and plowed by management only because the neighbor was embarrassed that it was not done.
