Outside, you can relax in your choice of several inviting spots: on the large attached lakeside deck, the outdoor patio, or on the rare boathouse top deck at the water's edge. This waterfront retreat is unlike any other; come and experience the lakeshore dream on one of the metro area's most sought-after lakes.
