Two-story lakefront home with a seasonal dock, furnished deck, & washer/dryer
Garstone Place
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Take a break at the lake at this fun, family-friendly retreat where you can spend your days out on the water, paddling the provided kayak and fishing for bass.
Meal prep is a snap in the well-equipped, full kitchen, while everyone can dine together indoors or out on the furnished deck complete with a private gas grill for perfect summertime cookouts. On rainy days or quiet evenings, bust out a few board games for a little friendly competition, or gather in the upstairs living area to stream your favorite movies and shows. This house also includes a second living area on the lower level that includes a comfortable double sofa bed.
Outside, take advantage of this incredible lakefront property complete with a seasonal dock (Memorial Day through Labor Day), a picnic table, and a quiet setting for watching the stars fill the night sky. You can even see the loons alighting on Three Mike Pond!
THINGS TO KNOW
Streaming TV services require guest accounts to access.
A kayak and life jackets are available for guests.
Please note that the rocky lakefront can be slippery. Please exercise caution in this area - swim at your own risk. There is no diving from the dock as the lake is shallow and rocky.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Dock details: Seasonally Available - Memorial Day to Labor Day
