Laundry facilities, a garbage recycling area, and a 2-piece bathroom are off the living room on the main floor. The dining room has a 9-foot long pine harvest table and pine buffet. There is a beautiful view of the lake and a walkout to the spacious deck. The newly renovated kitchen is fully-equipped with a large granite-top peninsula that seats several people.

What you will find outside the cottage.....:
The south facing deck extends along the entire lakeside front of the cottage and has a propane barbeque, patio table and chairs, and lounge chairs. There is always a combination of sunshine and shade to meet everyone’s needs. Steps away from the deck is the dock with deep water swimming, fantastic fishing, and boating. There is a 16 foot aluminum canoe (Springbok), a 16 foot wide-body fishing boat (Legend), with a 4 stroke, 9.9 hp Honda engine, and a 3-person paddle boat with shade top. Along the path to the dock you will find separate (locking) gas storage and a cabana with life jackets, canoe paddles, etc. Children always enjoy our floating trampoline that serves as a swim-to destination in a safe environment under parents' supervision from the dock. There is a shallow area for smaller children or those who wish to wade into the water. There is a firepit along the shoreline with log-seating. There is always time to relax in the hammock.
