It sleeps 14, which makes it a natural choice for weddings, reunions, and larger groups, and you can still block off time to enjoy the property yourself. Outside, a covered outdoor living area with a built-in wood-burning fireplace invites long evenings by the lake. A treehouse overlooks the open meadow and forest, where deer and birds are regular visitors. There’s also an underground electric line in conduit running from the home to the shoreline, ready if you’d like to add lighting at the water.
