Layout:
Room for 3 cars in the driveway (garage stall not available), Lakefront Cottage is perfect for families and small groups of friends. A private office greets you upon entry for those who need to work while they play, with a 3/4 bathroom across the hallway. The home then opens to a fully stocked kitchen. with a four-burner stove, dishwasher, and plenty of counter space. Immediately adjacent is the dining room, with a modern chandelier and picture window overlooking the cove. The table comfortably seats six, with two bar stools abutting the kitchen peninsula. A reading nook with a window alcove sits nearby, next to the living room with a big comfy couch and a Roku TV.
There are three bedrooms upstairs, starting with the bright primary bedroom with views of the water. It boasts a king size bed, Roku TV, and a full bathroom en-suite. The en-suite has a large, spacious vanity and a walk-in shower, with dual opposing shower heads for decadent comfort. Across the hall, the two queen bedrooms include Smart TV's with Roku integration, and sit adjacent to the third full bathroom, with bright tiling, a wide vanity with extra drawer space, and a bathtub + shower combo. With high speed internet for those who need to stay connected, all four Smart TV's offer live cable channels (including live local network stations) through Hulu Live TV, plus Netflix, Disney+, ESPN+ and HBO Max.
If you're more the outdoors type, the backyard is gorgeous and expansive, sloping down to the dock at the shoreline. A full-size gas grill is available for classic summer cookouts, while the fire pit is encircled by Adirondack chairs for evening s'mores and firelight conversations. Soak in the hot tub and enjoy the stars. Grab your stand up paddle board for a quick paddle to the sand bar in nearby Gideon Bay. From the bright and welcoming interior to the incredible shoreline backyard, you won't want your stay to end!
