Lakefront Experience
The highlight of the property is how effortlessly the lake becomes part of your stay. Walk outside and you’re immediately at the water’s edge, with a private dock ready for morning coffee, swimming, or launching a kayak.

Whether you’re spending the afternoon on the water or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings, the setting is designed for a true Up North experience.

Indoor-Outdoor Living (Unique Feature)
