The lake house is surrounded by tall trees. You will enjoy the sounds and views of the natural setting. While you sit outside you will see turtles bobbing up and down in the lake and sunning on the docks, watch the cranes and ducks flying over the lake and you most likely will hear the frogs, woodpeckers, owls and ducks communicating and keeping busy in and around the lake.
Water Activities All Year Round!

Kayaks, jon boat, canoe, stand up paddle boards are available at no charge for your entire stay. Ask your host for details about reserving paddle boats.

Fishing is a popular past time on our private dock, just steps away from the house. We have bass, crappie, big bream and catfish in the lake.
