About This Home
Ready for summer days, weekend escapes, or income from day one, this inviting retreat sits on a quiet bay with 60 ft of frontage, offering direct and alternate water access, a floating dock, and easy indoor-outdoor flow—perfect for kayaking, casting a line, or simply soaking in the setting. Relax under the powered pergola, entertain on new Trex decking, or unwind by the stone fire pit. Inside, bright open living is complemented by flexible sleeping—2BR + bonus room, loft, and convertible spaces to host with ease. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved, the home reflects the seller’s pride of ownership, with quality updates throughout and a welcoming feel guests have come to appreciate through its strong Airbnb history. Thoughtful updates include 2016 renovations expanding living space, a detached garage added in 2019, and recent improvements to drainage, decking, window, and hybrid hot water heater (2024), plus mini-split heat/AC and pellet stove for extended-season comfort. Connected to town water with a 1,000-gallon septic system. Detached garage plus available golf cart and backhoe offer added convenience and versatility. Offered fully furnished with strong Airbnb history—step in and start enjoying or earning immediately. A modest $50 annual road maintenance fee and long-term 99-year land lease (30+/- years remaining) support simple, low-key ownership. Set in a quieter bay ideal for kayaking, fishing, and relaxed days on the water—this is a place to unwind, gather, and make the most of lake life.
