The open-concept floor plan creates an inviting space where everyone can gather for meals, games, conversations, and movie nights after a day on the lake.

With generous counter space, plenty of seating, and all the cookware and dishes you’ll need, cooking together becomes part of the vacation.
Comfortable living areas throughout the home allow everyone to find their favorite place to relax.
Whether you’re sipping coffee while watching the sunrise, reading a book after a day on the lake, or enjoying an evening together around the fire pit , you’ll quickly understand why we call this The Gathering Place.

Your Private Lakefront Retreat
Step outside and discover why guests love staying here.
Our private dock sits in a quiet, protected cove that’s perfect for:
✔ Swimming
✔ Floating
✔ Fishing
✔ Launching kayaks
✔ Paddleboarding
✔ Relaxing by the water
The water around the dock is typically around 5 feet deep in the summer months, making it excellent for swimming and floating, but we do not recommend jumping or diving from the dock.
Don’t forget to bring:
Fishing poles
Kayaks
Paddleboards
Hammocks
There’s no better way to spend the afternoon than paddling around the peaceful cove or relaxing in a hammock beneath the trees while listening to the sounds of the lake.
As evening arrives, gather around the fire pit, roast marshmallows, share stories, and watch the stars appear overhead.
These are the moments families remember.
