About this property

Vitae Woodland Retreat

Retreat from the chaos with your family and friends!

Vitae is located on 5 acres of secluded woodland property, on a small lake, Bass Lake​.
A great place for family & holiday gatherings, and a perfect spot for a girls' getaway trip.

This rustic, spacious 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home has plenty of room for entertaining, with 2 fully equipped kitchens and lots of dining areas, including an upper deck with grill and screened in lower porch with a fire table, overlooking the pool, wood, ​ and lake.

The main level has a master bedroom/bath with an adjoining den/office and also a living room with a beautiful view of the woods and lake and has a TV/DVD player & small selection of DVDs as well for rainy days. For your convenience, there is also a separate laundry room (off the kitchen) with front loading washer and dryer.

The entire lower level has been recently remodeled, with a full kitchen/game room and a family room to provide fun for the whole family. A nice selection of games is available for all ages. The lower screened in porch has ample seating with a fire table for relaxing and reading or gathering for family/friend bonding.

Bass Lake​ is quiet, with no motors, great for fishing or kayaking. The pool is wonderful for summer fun (closed Oct.-May) and the 3 fireplaces make winter cozy! Kids will enjoy exploring the woods and discovering nature's beauty as well. Come to relax & enjoy nature, with frequent visits from deer, wild turkey​, ​ and other wildlife. Not far from the Gateway Trail and Stillwater, outdoor recreation such as biking, golfing and cross-country​ skiing and of course, shopping are all within reach.

Vitae in Latin means "life." We hope that you enjoy your stay, that it is life-giving and will recharge you for your next adventure.

Beautiful views, large home, very clean
My group stayed and Karen’s place for a laid back bachelorette party! The house was amazing. The views were beautiful (wild turkeys in the trees every morning, Private Lake etc) It was large enough to fit us 9 girls comfortably. There were two kitchens so we could cook breakfast and spend time at the house. We went for a walk around the neighborhood which was quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and the host was very friendly and responsive to any questions I had. I would highly recommend!
