Autumn Lake Escape - Cozy Fires, Sauna & Game Room

Imagine waking up to sunlight sparkling on Waneta Lake, stepping onto the deck with a hot cup of coffee, and letting the calm of the water set the tone for your day. Start with a swim or paddle at your private beach, then cook a leisurely brunch in the bright, open kitchen while the kids or friends gather around the lake-view dining area.


Spend the afternoon exploring nearby trails, relaxing in the loft or sunroom with a book, or challenging each other in the basement game room — air hockey, board games, and a big-screen TV, guaranteed fun for everyone. When the sun begins to set, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, or retreat to the spa for some yoga and indoor sauna for the ultimate unwind. At night, fall asleep in the main-level king suite or one of the cozy upstairs bedrooms, lulled by the gentle sounds of the lake.


From lakeside mornings to starry nights, this home is designed to make every moment feel like a memorable escape. Pets are welcome, so no family member gets left behind!
