***PLEASE NOTE: A NEST ABOVE home is located on top of the hill with appx. 400 ft of large, mature trees between the home and lake giving the home lots of privacy but does block the lake view from the home. The lakefront is accessible from the home through the walk path or drive by the private road.
OUTSIDE: ~Located on top of a rolling hill surrounded by almost 12 acres! ~Large front porch with a panoramic view of the mountains and beautiful sunrises. ~Large screened-in back porch with rocking chairs and a dining area. ~Backyard fire pit (enough firewood for a 1st fire provided, several locations nearby to buy more firewood if needed). ~CHARCOAL grill available (BYO charcoal) ~Just a short walk (400 ft or so) down the path between the beautiful mature trees, you can watch the SUNSET over the lake. •••FUN FACT: Eagle's nest (A NEST ABOVE) located very close to the home on the property.•••
~~We have TWO fire pits that you are welcome to use 1) In the backyard and 2) At the lakefront.~~
INSIDE: ~Spacious rooms for the whole family. ~Fully stocked kitchen that includes dishes, pots, pans, kettle, crockpot, blender, mixer, toaster, Keurig coffee pot equipped for traditional coffee grounds or pods. ~Large dining and spacious sitting areas to bring your loved ones together for food, games and to build memories! ~Cozy up in the living room around the electric heating fireplace to relax and watch a movie. ~Three “Smart” TVs located in the living room, dining/sitting room (with Atari gaming console and hookups if you want to bring your own gaming system) and in the master bedroom. ~Sleeps 8 with a king bed in the master bedroom, queen bed in the second bedroom, two single beds in the third bedroom and a full XL sofa bed in the living room.

***PLEASE NOTE: Entergy Corp. draws down the lake 3-5 feet in November and raises it back in March. Because we are on the main channel where there is water, you are able to continue to use the kayaks and canoe.***
We provide our kayaks and canoe as a complimentary amenity to our guests.
