Water’s Edge Retreat,  Lake & Creek Views , Kayaks, Firepit, Massage,  Sleeps 10

Trade city noise for birdsong at this designer 4‑bed, 3‑bath hideaway tucked between a seasonal creek, a lily‑dotted pond, and Lakeside’s natural lake. Mornings begin with coffee on the deck as herons skim the water; evenings end around a crackling firepit or in the full‑body massage chair that melts travel tension away. Thoughtful details—crisp linens, chef‑friendly kitchen, 75‑inch smart TV, board games, and kayaks ready at the shoreline—create an effortless, memory‑rich stay for families and close‑knit groups.
