    What the owner loves about this home
    We absolutely love the serene and beautiful nature that surrounds us everyday no matter the season. Having coffee while watching quiet sunrises, sitting on the beach and watching the sunset, taking a sauna in the crisp winter air and having family over on weekends to enjoy our multiple indoor and outdoor spaces. The sliding hill right to the lake is the best and bonus, there are three separate places on the lake to grab food and beverages year round! There are even fireworks for the 4th and a boat parade!
