About This Home

As of May 2025

This updated, completely charming lake cottage will have you at Hello! Smart updates combined with stylish furnishings and windows overlooking the lake, keep the focus on relaxing and long-range elevated views! A great split floor plan, anchored by a living room with large windows and a fireplace, is perfect for guests - surprisingly open and cozy at the same time. An expansive lakeside deck provides more outdoor living, but the dock with its large sundeck steals the show here. Deep jump-worthy water and two jump gates signal the priority! The location on Great Creek is ideal for watching sunsets, enjoying the quieter waters & the marina is only minutes away by water or land. Enjoy the nearby amenities -winery, waterfront marinas, dining, and quick access to further points. The Primary suite was renovated in 2024. Sold Furnished so you can jump in NOW!
