The cottage has a shallow, sandy walk-in area at the water and is approximately 4 feet deep at the end of the dock. The owner maintains the waterfront approximately 15 feet from the shore. The rest of the bay is weedy, however that does not keep many guests from swimming there. There is a flat rock in the next bay that local cottagers canoe and kayak to. There is great swimming there. Others wakeboard and water ski from the same spot.

There are 4 stairs from the grass to the main deck. The master bedroom is sunken and there is 1 step down to get to it. There are 4 steps down out back to the hot tub area. **Interior is all one level except for a 4" rise from the kitchen to the rest of the cottage and a single step down to the master bedroom.
Guest Access
Guests have access to the entire property with the exception of the second dock located on the far side of the cedars and a small parking area at the back of the property. This is for the sole use of the owners. We live on an adjacent island and use that dock for our boat when we go into town or pick up guests.
