The Lake House – Waterfront Cottage on Sand Lake

Welcome to The Lake House, a newly renovated two-bedroom waterfront cottage tucked into a quiet, sheltered bay on Sand Lake.

Inside, the open-concept layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas so everyone can relax together. A bright sunroom frames the water and opens onto a private deck overlooking the bay, perfect for morning coffee or sunset views.

Just steps from the cottage, the two-level boathouse is your summer hub. Lounge on the upper deck behind a sleek glass railing, head down to the covered boat slip, or swim from the floating raft. With year-round road access, a new propane furnace, and a new wood stove for cozy evenings, The Lake House is set up for both summer escapes and shoulder-season getaways.
