Time to start making memories! This charming lake property provides a little something for everyone. You can enjoy the long summer days in the sun or hang out in the shade of the spacious three season porch. The sand beach provides a great place to set up for a day of fun water activities. Spend your evenings taking in the amazing sunsets overlooking the lake. The cold and windy nights can be spent by the warm cozy rock fireplace. Buchanan Lake is a great fishery so I know the fish cleaning house will come in handy! The cabin features a recently updated furnace, roof, and plumbing. This one is ready to go!
