About this property

Private 11-Acre Lakefront Escape w/ 2 Cottages, Dock & Games

  • Escape to a secluded retreat featuring two private cottages set approximately 70 yards apart on nearly 11 acres of rolling meadow and forest. A gentle slope leads to 200+ feet of waterfront with a floating dock—perfect for tying off your boat during your stay. Guests often describe the property as a tranquil wonderland.

    Enjoy the firepit, wiffleball field, bucket golf, fishing poles, gas grill, darts, canoe/kayak, and a large paver patio ideal for outdoor dining and stargazing. Rent a boat from the nearby marina and dock it overnight throughout your stay. Just a short drive to local restaurants and grocery stores, and a quick boat ride to waterfront bars and dining.

    Sip your morning coffee or evening wine while taking in meadow, mountain, and lake views. It’s a truly unique and peaceful getaway—ideal for families, fishing trips, or relaxing escapes. Extended stay pricing available upon request.

    2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, full kitchen, living room, washer/dryer, WiFi, indoor and outdoor flat-screen TVs, fire pit, darts, and a spacious paver patio with both covered and uncovered seating areas.
