The space Looking for the perfect place to really kick back and relax? Well then… picture yourself on a nice private lake; lounging on a wooden deck, perched high above it all as you soak in the beauty. Thirsty..? A well-stocked party store is just around the corner with a huge selection of beer, wine & spirits. They also offer a hot food deli during the day and early evening. But let’s say you’re hungry for something more.

There, you can purchase a few thick juicy steaks or whatever your heart desires to toss on the grill.
