As soon as you enter the living area, you are drawn towards the beautiful and calm Lake, and you may want to run to the boat house ASAP and sit on the swings and just admire the view and the wildlife: you may see a turtle here and there sticking out her neck for a few seconds and then dive back into the water. The waterfront backyard has 2 magnificent trees that give shade to the entire property. A firepit is close to the dock.
We accept pets, "dogs only", up to 2 maximum, any size, but well behaved: we only charge for a cleaning fee $150 per pet, per stay. Guests need to disclose the number of pets, so we can prepare the home accordingly, and confirm the charges.
