Lake activities during the warm weather months allow for a tremendous family engagement both indoors and out. With an outdoor shower, lower-level Great Room, Bar, Game Room, and Bathroom, much of the daily activities are contained at the walk out level keeping the upper floors nice and tidy for when settling down for evening rest and relaxation.
