The space
THE PROPERTY:
The cottage is on a stunning and rocky hillside, with stairs from the parking area down to the cottage, and stairs from the cottage down to the dock. The rugged wilderness is beautiful here, and the deck feels like you're up in the trees, with a birds eye view of the lake. Great for bird watching and listening to loon calls!
Seamlessly enjoy the upper deck from the living room, with quick and easy access to the BBQ and outdoor dining table that seats 8, with a stunning view of the lake.
The waterfront is perfect for swimming off the dock and paddle boarding (paddle boards are available for your use!) in summertime. Be sure to bring your water shoes! We have a rocky shoreline and zebra muscles are guests along our waterfront. Weed free - this is an ideal place for swimming! It's also a great spot to bring your fishing rod!
If you love winter, you can come snuggle up during the winter season! Bring your skis, skates, sleds, ice fishing gear, whatever you enjoy!
