On Horseshoe Lake
The beach is the reason people come back. Soft sand, shallow water at the edge, and a dock long enough for cannonballs in the afternoon and coffee in the morning.

Walk down the steps and your feet are in the sand.

The main house
Vaulted cedar ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a wall of windows that keeps the lake in view from the sofa, the kitchen and the dining table.
The bunkhouse
A pine-paneled cabin of its own, with plaid bunks, a kitchenette and a deck that looks out over the lake. And yes, that is a slide.
Floor plans
The main house on two levels, plus the bunkhouse above the game room: about 4,380 square feet in all.
