It's only a few steps from the front door to the quality aluminum dock system where you can tie up multiple boats or watercraft for your summer on the lake activities or just sit in your favorite chair and enjoy the view. The home feels really comfortable inside with central air for the warm summer days and a beautiful propane heating stove plus a propane furnace for the cooler days of spring and fall. The use of real wood for much of the interior finish gives the place a nice Maine Cabin appeal and the many windows that showcase the lake view let in plenty of natural light.
