On a Whim- Peaceful 2 bedroom home + loft in charming lakefront community

On a Whim is a charming, family-friendly cabin nestled in the heart of Sky Valley, a picturesque lakefront community just a short drive away from local restaurants, family attractions, and the renowned Wisp Resort. Additionally, the home is just 5 minutes from Thousand Acres Golf Club (Public Access). The Sky Valley neighborhood offers a wealth of amenities, including community lake access, a pickleball/basketball court, and a playground, making it perfect for all ages to enjoy. Whether you're looking to relax or explore, this cabin has something for everyone. In the winter, you can enjoy sled riding on the hill out back, while warmer months invite you to fish in the neighborhood pond or swim in the community swimming area of the lake. Relax and unwind with a morning cup of coffee on the cozy, wooded porches, or gather around the firepit for a night under the stars. Inside, the warmth of the wood stove will keep you toasty (please bring your own firewood). On a Whim offers two comfortable bedrooms: a queen bedroom on the main floor and another queen bedroom on the upper floor. The loft area is a great space for kids, featuring a set of bunk beds and a twin daybed. With two bathrooms, this cabin comfortably accommodates families and friends alike. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, On a Whim is the perfect home base for your Sky Valley adventure.

Perfect House

The location was great, about 20 minutes from the lacrosse tournament. House was lovely and had a nice area for the kids to sleep. Everyone wants to stay at this house again next year.
