Gather the family & guests in the incredible great room with 32 ft. cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows facing the lake with a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone wood fireplace.

The custom, decorated in true wilderness rustic style, has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms so there is plenty of room for everyone. The dining area offers seating for 20-24 guests, with a kitchen anyone would envy complete with a bar serving area with wine coolers and tappers.

The fisherman in you will love the outdoor sports building for storing rods, reels, nets, and anything else you need to enjoy the great outdoors.
