This property will accommodate 13 people. The lot offers an easy gradual slope down to the lake and a fenced in yard (no pets allowed but great for small children to keep away from the water.) There is a private boat ramp for the homes on this street and there are several companies that offer boat rentals. You can swim directly off the dock in a quiet cove.
Getting around: There is no public transportation in the area so a vehicle (or boat!) is a necessity.
There is ample driveway parking for up to four vehicles. Please do not bring more than four cars. Please do not park on the street or leave the vehicles at the private boat ramp a few doors down from our home as that is a shared ramp with 6 other homes. Thank you!
