The home has a year round lush green lawn courtesy of the underground sprinkler system while a canopy of trees provides shaded outdoor comfort without obstructing the spectacular panoramic lake view. Launch your own boat or Jet Skis at our boat launch ramp or rent them nearby at one of the public launch ramps. After a day on the lake, tie up your boat and Jet Skis and take a swim at the large floating deep water dock which is also covered for the protection of those with sun sensitive
complexion or combine relaxation and fun with the colorful lounge floats which are provided free for the use of our guests. Too comfy and mellowed out to swim? Then just relax with a cold one in the shaded hammock area. Don't feel like cooking? Just order from one of the local restaurants that deliver or cater.
