The four-bedroom, four-bathroom abode recently took home the title of one of Vrbo’s Vacation Rentals of the Year. It was selected for its 10/10 guest rating and positive reviews. The property features a main cottage and a bunkie that sleeps up to 10. The living area has a cozy fireplace, open-concept kitchen and dining space, and beautiful views overlooking the lake. Head down to the basement bar to play some shuffleboard, then unwind on the lakeside terrace. Water enthusiasts can take advantage of the two-seater kayak, two paddle boards, and a pebble beach.
