Counter-top appliances are conveniently located on a rolling cart and include a multi-function oven, microwave oven, and electric grill. The full-size refrigerator has a bottom freezer with pull-out drawers.
The living room comfortably seats 4 with a couch, electric recliner and side chair. An adjustable table, end table and smart tv complete the space.
The master bedroom has an adjustable queen-sized bed, 2 night-stands and a "rolling closet" that can be moved to allow greater wheel-chair mobility.
The second bedroom has two twin beds. One is standard and the other one is a twin-xl sized mattress on an adjustable frame. It also has a 5-drawer dresser and bedside table.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah
My husband and I have always loved being on the lake and used to be avid water-skiers in our younger days. Now that we are seniors, we enjoy relaxing on the deck or on the dock. The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful over the lake. During the day, watching the waterfowl and listening to the songbirds provide a relaxing atmosphere. Fish can be caught off the dock. You can kayak through the culvert to get to Back Turk Lake.
Why they chose this property
Turk Lake is a popular all-sports lake known for friendly neighbors and great fishing.
It is home to swans and ducks as well as turtles and bull-frogs, all which can be enjoyed from our dock or deck.
