Escape from the hectic city life to this incredibly well-equipped lakefront home! Offering gorgeous water views and a peaceful location with beautiful plants and trees growing all around the house, relaxation is assured. Heart's Desire on the Lake features a spacious open floor plan combining the kitchen, living room, and dining area into one big space, perfect for family gatherings where no one will be left behind. The large living room offers the perfect setting for entertaining gatherings–equipped with comfortable sofas, a rocking chair, and an armchair perfectly situated near a fireplace and the TV, game nights and movie nights will be ideal. Additionally, there are yoga mats and free weights for your daily workout. And if the young ones need entertainment, books, movies, board games, and children's games should do the trick. Even streaming services are available!
The dining area offers a large dining table and marvelous lake views through the wall-to-wall windows. The chefs of the group will be pleased with how well-equipped the kitchen is. A full-size fridge, pots, utensils, blender, coffee makers, and plenty of counter space await. There is also a semi-circle table for additional seating. This dog-friendly home away from home has two bedrooms with a separate entrance that is on the left side of the house. All bedrooms are comfortable and offer a lovely retreat. There are also two full bathrooms and a half bathroom available for your convenience. Outside, the lake-facing deck will be just perfect for cookouts thanks to the outdoor dining area and gas grill–welcome to the perfect spot to spend a lazy afternoon! Additionally, guests will be granted access to a shared pool, laundry facilities, tennis court, golf on-site, a country club, and three beaches.
Outdoor enthusiasts be prepared! Area activities include hiking, biking, mountain climbing, fishing, and more. Iconic hikes and views await at the world-renowned Yosemite National Park, only 26 miles away.
