Lakefront Oasis: Fire Pit|Hot tublLily padlKayaks

For lakefront fun, recreation, and relaxation this is the perfect oasis. You’ll love unwinding in the 6-person hot tub, grilling, dining, and chilling on multiple decks, and gathering the group around the backyard firepit. Best of all is the deepwater boat house, from which you can swim, fish, and launch watercraft – including supplied paddleboards and kayaks. Lily pad/aqua pad, too, for relaxing in the sun. You’ll welcome thoughtful touches and the relaxed, mellow, vibe with space for everyone.
