Additionally there is a nursery attached to the largest upstairs bedroom that has a twin bed, full crib and a pak n play, which will accommodate 1 infant and 1 toddler/child for a maximum of 10 persons.

There is a large second deck on the bluff above the beach with more seating to enjoy the lake views and sunrise and sunsets. This is a lovely spot for your morning coffee or evening beverage.

It is only a few steps to your private beach ( beach chairs provided). Bring your towels and toys for relaxing days in the the water and sand. Perfect!!
