Puzzles, family games, and board games are also stored up there for guest enjoyment. This large loft/rec room is spacious and perfect for rainy day activities.
the yard is large and flat It can be soft due to the high water table, but a concrete path to the dock provides solid footing all year. Yard games including corn hole and ladderball are provided.
6 adirondak chairs encircle a lakeside fire pit Firewood is not supplied, but the guest book lists nearby places to buy it. The kitchen supplies include roasting forks for cooking hotdogs or s'mores over the campfire. This is a beautiful place to enjoy the lake, especially at night.
please remember that sound carries on the water, and be respectful of neighbors and quiet hours
fishing off the dock is fun and guests can catch perch, bluegill, and catfish along with the occasional bass on lures or worms The area to the right of the dock has a sandy bottom and gradual depth change so it can be a great place for supervised kids to play in the water. Because the home is on a bit of a point, boats sometimes cut closer to the end of the dock than they should. When the dock is in (Memorial Day to Labor Day) a floating raft is anchored deeper to discourage boats from cutting in close. Use caution if using the raft since its main function is to act as a buoy to keep boats away from the dock, and boats may come close to it.
for more enjoyment of the lake, contact the owner to inquire about pontoon boat rental ($250/day $1500/week booked separately) from VRBO. Please familiarize yourself with Michigan boating rules and regulations prior to renting. Guests will be required to sign a release of liability and attest familiarity with MI boating rules prior to rental.
