The deck & dock have covered, shady areas & sunny options for drying off or soaking up some rays. The deck gets ideal afternoon sun but is nicely shaded for morning coffee & dinners outside. By evening, the firepit is comfortably shaded for s'mores at the firepit! You will truly enjoy the way the sun moves across the property, & this house has one of the best laid out boathouses around, complete with bar area/mini fridge.
The water at our spot warms up faster in spring than main lake, & stays warmer longer in fall, extending our season. It is also lovely & calm here even when the main lake is choppy. However, we still have the benefits of wide water views, the convenience of a space right by the house for letting loose w/the boat & having fun tubing/water skiing. The main lake is just 3-5 min away. It's the best of both worlds!
