Excellent waterfront with parking at the water, swinging bench under covered part of the end of the dock. Shade tree and seating at lake. Shale beach with gradual drop off for children. Annual flowers both at waterfront and cottage. Cottage is just a stones throw from the water and is accessed using well built 39 steps. Huge deck at top of the banks features rows of rocking chairs and picnic table. Listen to the waves from the cottage porch that extended across the front of the cottage. Thanks for your interest in the cottage... The cottage is located just south of King Ferry on the east side of the lake and sits on 101' of lake front. You can throw a stone from the cottage into the water, however, we do have steps between the cottage and the water. You can also drive directly to the water via a lane way. The dock and storage shed occupy the flat area at the base of the bank. At the top of the bank is a very large deck that offers wonderful views as does the long screened in porch on the front of the cottage. We have enlarged our dock to 60' that includes a 20' x 20' deck with swim ladders at the end. Half of the deck is covered. It features a swinging bench from the roof. Two options are available for securing a boat. A 14' row boat, double seat sea kayak, and Sunfish sailboat are available. Please note that the owners home is located at the back of the property. The owner may occasionally make use of the dock or deck facilities. Capt. Steve is a fishing guide so you may want to ask a few angling questions! Well behaved dogs allowed. No cats please.
