The open living area makes it easy to spend time together, while the bedrooms and loft provide privacy and comfort at the end of the day.
Whether youâre grilling on the patio, relaxing in the hot tub under the stars, kayaking across the lake, or enjoying a slow morning coffee with a view, thereâs room here for both activity and rest.

Things to Know:
The cabin is located at the end of an approximately 800-foot stone driveway that includes a hill. During winter months, four-wheel drive is recommended if snow is expected. We make reasonable efforts to plow, but heavy snowfall may limit access temporarily.
There is a tiny house located approximately 400â500 feet from the cabin, as well as family buildings across the lake. The cabin area and beach directly in front of the cabin are reserved exclusively for your use.
For safety and property monitoring, there is one exterior security camera located at the rear of the cabin. It is clearly visible upon arrival and is the only camera on site.
The property includes water, woods, and natural terrain, so children should be supervised outdoors.
