Cottage number 129 is so close to the water that you can see the ducks play, spotted bass jump and even turtles swimming without your binoculars. Deer also swim in this area. Being so close to the water makes cottage 129 a place of total peace and tranquility. You could live in this cottage as your full time residence or enjoy it as your treasured lakefront getaway. This fully furnished, lakefront cottage, features a custom built staircase (with storage underneath) to the finished loft, new induction range and microwave, gorgeous real wood floors, gas fireplace with stone surround, an EZE-Breeze screened porch that stretches the full length of the home, a large kitchen island, quartz countertops, encapsulated/spray foam, insulated crawlspace, complete with dehumidifier and much more!
