Sweet home away from home!

This sturdy, small house has everything you need to enjoy a get-away by a pretty lake. Lakeview always available through the large living-room windows and convenient & spacious dining area. 2 porches with seating are lit in evenings for a cozy feel. In addition, there is a large side/back yard with a fire pit, seating & ambiance lights. Other than not being handicap accessible, (steps to get in & steep steps with railings to the upstairs bedrooms), it is a really cute house! Host left fruit & coffee supply to get you started! Well maintained.
