The Space:
Make unforgettable vacation memories at this stunning lakefront gem, where seclusion and tranquility reign! Nestled on 13 acres along the shores of Slaughter Bay, this retreat offers an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, warm wood accents, vaulted ceilings, and all the comforts of home, this haven promises to spoil every guest. Spend your days enjoying unlimited possibilities with a private dock—perfect for boating or swimming in the cool waters of Slaughter Bay. Watch for bald eagles and other wildlife, or stroll among the picturesque maple trees, all while basking in the serene surroundings.
A second dock, conveniently located by the kayaks, provides swimming access, making it a great spot for little ones to splash and play in the water. When hunger strikes, the well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, while the full bar is ideal for mixing up special cocktails as the sun sets over the horizon. Gather around the firepit to reminisce with loved ones until the stars come out, then retreat inside to cozy up on the couch and watch a movie on the flatscreen TV, drifting off to sweet dreams of more adventures ahead.
With lake access, there's no shortage of activities—bring your boat or take out one of the three kayaks provided. If you're in the mood for a land adventure, explore the nearby hiking trails, or take a scenic 25-mile drive to Bond Falls Waterfalls. In the winter, the fun continues with cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and snowmobiling on groomed trails. Experience the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure in this peaceful lakeside retreat.

BEAUTIFUL! CLEAN.
Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Clean, beautiful views and plenty of outstanding space inside and out.
The view of the lake and fall tree colors were just gorgeous. The house is spacious, kitchen fully equipped and easy to work in. We l loved the area and we recommend this property. The only issue was the front load washer. We had to run the clean cycle becuase it smelled. We have a front loader and routine cleaning is a must.

We had a great time at this house. Lots of room for everyone to sleep, very cozy with the fireplaces, close to snowmobile trails! Couldn’t ask for a better trip.
This place was so perfect! It was so spacious. There were 11 of us. 4 families. We had so much space to sit down and eat together. We grilled alot. Not only did they have a spare propane tank, but wood to have a bon fire too. They had everything we needed. And the view! What a beautiful view of the lake. We loved having coffee on the deck and in the sun room.

Great Vacation Home
The house was roomy and had all the amenities we needed. The location of the home was spectacular with its view of the lake, grassy lawn and privacy! Best lake house we’ve rented in a long time!
