Why they chose this property

Not rustic... very modern and comfortable with an open floor plan. Nicely appointed kitchen and two full bathes. We are the eastern most point on the Lake (gorgeous sunsets) with easy convenient access to the public landing.

What makes this property unique

Your own dock, deck and swim area... sandy bottom and shallow enough for swimming.
