Life on the Lake

Situated on a lakeside peninsula, with views of the water from almost every room, this home is a dreamy escape from everyday life. With 200 feet of pristine waterfront and two acres of land to explore, it's the ultimate getaway for fans of the great outdoors. Boat owners can bring along their vessel, while kayaks are provided for your use. The hosts will also stock up the house with goodies before your arrival, and if you'd like someone to take over catering duties then they can arrange for a private chef to visit – just ask. The huge living area has been designed with care, and makes the ideal place to chill out if you need some peace and quiet inside. Or, maybe you'll choose to kick back in the hammock with a good book, before paddling over to the sandy shores of Hawthorne Beach Club – it's just eight minutes away by canoe. When you get hungry, fire up the barbecue and serve up a spread on the deck, before taking a dip in the water to cool off. However you choose to spend your days, make sure the whole group gathers at the fire pit after dark to share stories – and maybe some smores too.
