Sweet Summertime on the Lake | Waterfront Modern Home

Summary:
Enjoy a summer escape at our Scandinavian Modern styled home! Steep yourself in warm breezes with bare feet swinging in the water. Relax on the front deck listening to the birds, nap on the marine grade dock hammock, & kick up your feet for an evening beverage under the screened porch fan. Have breakfast around the marble island & dinner grill-side at the outdoor dining table. Listen to classic record albums, take an afternoon swim, stream your favorite movie, stargaze, cast a line from your dock. However you choose to spend your day on the lake, its guaranteed you'll fall asleep with a greater sense of tranquility than when you arrived.

The Space:
Pull across the covered bridge into your parking area; Enter the home via keypad on the downstairs door.

Expansive downstairs entertainment space with bunk bed and half bath. The downstairs area has a Smart TV with YouTube TV (which operates just like cable!), streaming services, DVD player and lots of DVDs, a plush couch and loveseat for movie nights. You can also enjoy the screened porch with 4 comfortable outdoor chairs, lake views and breezes.

Walking up the open stairwell you'll enter the main area of the home with bucoos of windows to enjoy the gorgeous water view from the treetops. A private walkout balcony from the living room overlooks the lake below. A separate expansive deck with outdoor dining area is accessible off the kitchen. Unique salvaged elements throughout the house are part of what make it unique. There is a record player and classic records, a top grain leather sectional sofa perfect for cozying up with a book or for a long conversation. The large open room has arched ceilings, and an open concept feel. The kitchen features gorgeous granite countertops, beautiful locally harvested white ash open shelving, and a dine-in island with seating for 6.

You can access the laundry room from the great room, and walk down a hallway to the bedrooms. There are two airy bedrooms, each with lofted ceilings, screens on the windows, and ceilings fans. The queen beds with canopy frames are comfortable and plush, and each room is set up with a mirror and makeup area. The master suite features a full bathroom with tub/shower and modern floating shelf sink. The guest bath just outside both bedrooms offers a shower. We use Free & Clear Unscented laundry detergent on bedding and towels so our guests with sensitivities to perfumed products can breath easy.

From the house you can take the walking path down to the water. It's a bit steep so be sure to bring good shoes. There is an open shoreline with smooth slope into the water- perfect for relaxing by the water or kids playing in the shallows. The private cove is a wonderful place to fish or swim and avoid boat traffic. The water gradually increases in depth up to about 10' deep in the cove. The lake is a reservoir so speed boats are discouraged; it's generally very quiet on weekdays; while there are more activities on the main lake during the weekend it is still minimal compared to most lakes as only owners and renters area allowed access to the lake. We frequently are delighted to find that we are the lone boat on the water.

Guest Access:
Enter via the Covered Bridge. It's narrow so please go slow. Keypad on Basement Door to enter home.

The Neighborhood:
Neighbors are primarily feathered, finned or furry. There are other lakefront homes that are mostly second homes. The lake is private to homeowners and renters only. Please be respectful of noise as it carries on the lake.

Getting Around:
You'll need a car to get here (or Lyft / Uber).

Other Things to Note:
This is a natural setting; you may encounter wildlife, snakes or bugs; please leave them alone and they will tend to do the same.
Please do not throw debris or food scraps on the ground. This attracts unwanted pests, and sullies the enjoyment for future guests.

Interaction with Guests:
We want you to be able to settle into this home as if it was your own. We'll stay out of your way, but we're just a quick message away if you have questions about restaurants, events or the house, or if an unexpected issue arises.

We are happy to answer questions that you may have! Whether it's a hankering for a local cider, a scenic route for a bike ride on your road bike, or a memorable anniversary meal, we are happy to help you find the closest and best place to make that happen.
