Come enjoy this adorable shared waterfront cottage on Platte Lake! This well-maintained cottage can serve as a great home-base for your vacation, or as your little "peace" of paradise for the week! Enjoy swimming from the beach or soak in the sun on the dock. The water in front of the property is shallow and perfect for the kids, or those who want to "ease their way in". A picnic table is available just off the deck for outdoor meals, and there are lots of games and movies for evening or rainy weather fun. TV, DVD player, wifi, and bluetooth speaker available for electronic entertainment. The rental/cleaning fee includes all linens (pillows, sheets, blankets, down comforters, and bath towels). You will find all you need in the fully equipped kitchen (also provided: dish soap & towels, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and basic spices). Gas grill available on deck. Shared beach, dock, and fire pit (wood provided). Please bring your own beach towels and water/beach toys. Platte Lake is an all sports 2,500 acre lake with small mouth bass, pike, walleye and pan fish. The Platte River is just around the corner and is ideal for kayaking and stream fishing.
