The current owners have owned this one of a kind property for over 40 years. The cedar-shake,amply furnished cottage has two small bedrooms, a bathroom, a galley kitchen area and a pleasant eating/living room with surrounding windows that provide a bright atmosphere and pleasant views. A wall heater allows this area to be warm and cozy on cool late-summer and fall days and nights. The 10'x14' storage shed has been converted to an escape bedroom and in the off season it is home for kayaks, deck furniture and other seasonal toys. The cottage is situated on a near-acre, private,gentle wooded hillside with room for parking. The fireplace area has been the site of many evening campfires and s'more-making. A small foot path leads to the water's edge where you will enjoy your own waterfront,with deck and dock. Views of the lake and mountains are fantastic and spectacular sunsets are common.
