A wrap around porch/deck runs from the carport to the front of the house facing the lake, and is an excellent location for enjoying the views. A fire pit is located below the house in the yard for enjoying evening campfires and great company! With a two acre yard you will have plenty of room to enjoy all of the outdoor games a family could want.

A short drive or walk down Rapalee Road leads to 40 feet of lakefront, along with a dock for enjoying swimming, sun bathing or fishing. A pair of kayaks and lawn chairs are provided for guests' enjoyment during their stay. While the seasonal dock is not set up to moor a boat, there is a public boat launch less than 2 miles away for guests that are bringing a boat with them.
