With a cosy fireplace, WiFi, TV, plush linens, and an outdoor BBQ, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing stay. Just steps away, the Lake House brings rustic charm to the lakeside setting. Originally built in the 1960s and freshly renovated, it sleeps up to ten guests. It features a master bedroom with lake views, a second queen room, and a bunk room with six single beds.
