About this property

This lakefront cottage is an ideal getaway for a family!

You may also catch a glimpse or our resident bald eagle, blue herons or beavers! The lake is small (46 acres) so no motor boats are allowed, keeping it nice and quiet. Fishermen tout the wide-mouth bass, perch, pickerel, grouper and more. There are so many ways to enjoy the outdoors--swim from the float, lounge on the shore or enjoy the fire pit at night.

• All told, the cottage can hold up to 4 adults comfortably with 2 extra mattresses for children. There is an additional pull-out sofa as well. See cottage diagram image for more info.
• There is a private dock and rowboat for your use only. A raft for swimming is shared with the owner cottage next door.
• Playset with swings, slide and climbing equipment.
• Two bedrooms: Bedroom 1 has a full-sized bed; Bedroom 2 has a queen-sized bed.
• This is a humble cottage, the furnishings are worn but clean. Kitchen has plenty of cooking supplies, T.V. has basic cable. GUESTS MUST BRING SHEETS AND TOWELS. We provide blankets and pillows.
• Additional sleeping is in a loft over the great room. The sleeping loft has two regular twin-sized mattresses plus two additional sleeping mats. The loft ceiling is low so it is best suited for children. It is accessed via pull-down attic stairs.
• The cottage is at the end of a dead-end, dirt road. There is a farm across the lake. This is a rural area, nearest grocery store is 9 miles away.
• Propane grill.
• Outdoor games (like volley ball net and corn hole).
