This property is extremely private. The single lane roadway running behind the property comes to a dead end after a few more cottages. Woods and trails lie on the other side of the road. Trees on this two acre property offer excellent privacy including from the dock. Rock Island, which can be seen in one of the pictures, is uninhabited.

The main log cottage has a 30 foot screened veranda across the front, a large log interior living / dining room with stone fireplace, a full bathroom, three bedrooms, two with queen size bed, and one with a pair of double beds, all on the main floor. There is a fourth bedroom upstairs with a queen size bed and attached half bath. The newly renovated main kitchen has a new stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, utensils and table.

The kitchen is well equipped with stove, refrigerator and cooking utensils.

Both cottages have easy access to the boat house, dock and lake. Between the two cottages there is a stone outdoor wood fireplace with grill, a copper fire pit, and a picnic table for outdoor eating. The propane BBQ is near the kitchen. The clothes washer and dryer are placed conveniently for access from both cottages. This handsome pair of cottages allows for comfortable accommodation for 12 in the six bedrooms. Our septic system is rated for a maximum occupation of 12, which limits the size of families.

The TV is a LCD wide screen hooked up to satellite and the DVD/CD player is an XBox 360 with a limited collection of games and movies.
