The kitchen is extremely large to provide the entertaining and dining area that you need for your entire group and opens to the lake front living area. Looking up through the open loft area, you will find another completely separate living area, made for the kids, and equipped with TV, DVD player and games. The two bedrooms upstairs are set up dormitory-style and the beds can be moved or combined to accommodate your particular needs. One has a queen and full bed plus two twins, and the other bedroom has a bunk bed, queen bed and two twins. A central bath services both. As beautiful as this home is, you will want to stay outdoors because everything is here! The expansive front lawn leads to the beach area where the kids will love playing in the shallow lake with no rocks. Or they may want to play on the swing set which also has a toddler swing. Grill up a picnic for your crowd on the new gas grill.

There are lawn chairs for 'mom and dad' to enjoy relaxing or reading a good book, picnic table for your outdoor picnics, and a fire pit to roast marshmallows or just sit and watch the stars at night.
