Exterior to the Dock
Walk 300' along the winding concrete path to the custom dock which is outfitted with 3 loungers, bistro table with 4 chairs, and a swing chair to relax and soak in the views. There is plenty of shade and afternoon sun on the dock. You will also find 2 youth kayaks, 2 adult kayaks, a variety of swim vests, and fishing gear. We have the convenience of being on the main channel with the added benefit of a private cove for swimming and playing.
Like many lake properties, the walk to the dock is moderately steep. Some guests may opt to rent a golf cart that can be delivered from a nearby dealer, especially If grandma or grandpa want to spend a lot of time at the dock or if anyone has hip or knee problems. We can offer more information if requested.
From the dock we often see osprey, egrets, turtles, and we even have a pair of eagles who fly by.
Our boat may be lifted in the dock and our jet skis may be docked. Our boat, lift, and jet skis are not included with the rental, however you are welcome to bring your boat or rent one from the local marina. There is space to tie up at the dock. For additional security, the dock is equipped with video monitoring directed on the boat and jet skis.
