From the house, a tiered deck opens to the rolling, sun-splashed lawn and down to the lake. It is where you will want to watch the sun rise and hear the loon's calling; spend long days swimming, lounging, playing games, and fishing right off the huge dock, with stairs at the end of dock for easy walking up/down into lake. Kids will love these dock stairs. You will too.
Bring your boat to tie up at the amazing dock for day trips out onto breath-taking Torch Lake (5 minute Boat Ride), to the sand bar, down one of the meandering rivers to the many other lakes, great fishing - or tubing, waterboarding and other water sports!
