About this property
Lakefront Cabin & Pontoon
Lakefront Property
The only thing you’ll appreciate more than the scenery is the spacious lakefront yard. Located on a prime section of the lake you’ll have a front row seat to lake life. Enjoy the charm of a large, flat lakefront yard that is tucked into the wooded shoreline of Big Blake Lake creating an oasis for your family. Morning fishing from a private dock, hot summer days out on the lake anchored for swimming, long afternoons of yard games and evening campfires is how your family will make memories on your next lake vacation. The south side of the dock is groomed and set up for launching the kayaks and canoe. The north side of the dock is kept natural for health of the lake and fish, there will be plants growing along the shoreline and in the water. There is no swimming/wadding on the north side of the dock. Lake swimming is best from the pontoon anchored out on the lake however many guests enjoy swimming off the end of the dock where we groom weekly and the swim raft is located.
What is a day at the lake without a boat?
Treat your family to early morning fishing, afternoons out on the lake swimming and sunset boat cruises. We'll have a pontoon gassed up and waiting for you at the dock.
Cabin Life.
Well appointed and fully furnished this clean and spacious cabin has just about everything your family will need for a memorable vacation. Just in case you're worried you'll run out of things to do at the lake the great room is where a pool table, arcade table with 60 games, seating for the group, 50" TV, WiFi and Netflix are located. A fully stocked kitchen makes preparing meals easy and convenient while at the lake. Kitchen amenities include dishes, silverware, pots & pans and small appliances including a toast, microwave, toast oven, coffee maker, griddle, blender, crock pot and hand mixer. 5 bedrooms sleep 12 guests in 4 king and 4 twin beds. A deck and covered patio with seating overlook the lake.
