In the evenings, just sit out and enjoy the sunsets. The pool by the porch to cool off in those hot summer days. Also, it is heated by solar panels for those early spring days and late fall times.

There is a lanai off the kitchen where you can enjoy dinner while watching the boats going down the river.
