WIFI. The space If you know the lake well, you know that our location is particularly desirable for important reasons. Our location is. on the coveted east side with desired afternoon sun, with a swimming area with the right depth for kids and adults (getting deeper with a nice slowly graduated slope, starting at about 18 inches at the seawall, dropping to about 6 feet at the far end of the dock, and deepening to 25 feet at the distant center of the cove). We are located on a wide large cove, which is meaningful in keeping clear of the main boat traffic. Three-bedroom, 2 full bath cottage with fully equipped kitchen, open-concept (entirely restored 2016). We repurposed original and vintage materials from this loved early 1900's cottage during our restoration. Every window has a story. Just ask us!
