As you enter our LIVING ROOM area you will see plenty of space to relax and unwind, whether enjoying a movie in the TV AREA or chatting around the hearth or playing a game.
The TV is equipped a DVD player and there are DVDs available to watch. There are also several board games available.
The SUNROOM is accessible through both sets of sliding glass doors as you move through the living room areas. Enjoy our bench couch seating for an afternoon nap or cozy up with your favorite book. The view of the lake and the serenity as breeze passes though the 3-seasons room make this a favorite vacation spot. As night falls, this room is perfect for family charades or recapping the day. Should you have little ones who head to bed early, the sliding doors are perfect sound barriers to keep noise separated in the house.
As you walk out the back sliding doors to the WRAP-AROUND DECK, there is ample seating. We also have 2 picnic tables which you are free to move to the lawn. Please just place them back when you leave.
The steps lead to the spring-fed, 2 acre lake and diving board. There is a sandy area for playing and sunbathing and the water is cool and refreshing. Another favorite pass-time is catch and release fishing. The blue gill will literally jump on your hook and never seem to tire of any type of bait. We also have small and large mouth bass (please release them after catching!) as well as turtles and frogs. As a caution the turtles love to chase bait too...and can be damaged by hooks. So please watch out for them!
The several acre field is perfect for a pick-up game of kickball or frisbee…and catching fireflies during the summer months. As evening settles in, the firepit is ideal for roasting marshmallows and s’more making…and campfire songs certainly add to the ambiance. On a clear evening, look up! Most nights you can see at least a couple shooting stars. You may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, if luck and timing are on your side.
