Spacious Lakefront Home for Large Groups, 2 Acres, Central AC, Kayaks, Boat Dock

This home with waterfront is perfect for family reunions, extended families, or just large groups of friends! The east side location provides plenty of sunshine and awesome sunsets. There is a large two acre grassy lawn for kids to play and no neighbors on either side near the house. Since the yard is very spacious, you do have to walk approximately 100 yards (length of a football field) down the gently sloping property to the beach. The property gets more narrow towards the beach area where cottages get closer together. A stone driveway to drive to the water for people who can't walk this distance is located on the side of the property and cuts across the lawn near the waterfront. It is also used as a driveway/lane for cottages directly on the water. Kids can run and play, fly a kite, adults can have a volleyball game, play hoops, roast marsh-mellows, have a picnic, and take part in all kinds of water activities.

Inside, there is plenty of space to hang out together in the living room or family room. The dining room table seats 10 and table in the adjacent kitchen seats 6. Just outside the dining room is the deck which can seat 5 more or so. Many folks enjoy the piano room where they have singalongs with the family. There are also lots of nooks and crannies in the home where you could enjoy some quiet time away from the group. Of course, you could also do a little sunning at the beach while listening to the lapping waves, hang out on the new spacious deck there or relax in the lawn under one of the large shade trees.

The beach is all small flat rocks(shale) and has a deck and 45 foot dock. There are some stairs (approx. 20) from the lawn to the beach area. The new deck is about 1/3 the way down from the lawn. The water is very clean and there are no weeds in this area. It's crystal clear and you can easily see the bottom. It's a nice gradual walk out into the water and is about three feet deep at the end of the dock, which is great for kids- no drop offs. There are two kayaks with life-jackets for your use. For extremely large groups, we also own another home a short walk away with three bedrooms and sleeps 10 that you can inquire about. Auburn is only a quick drive (a few miles)away, so it is very convenient for shopping, restaurants, parks,etc. There are many things to do in the area depending on your interests.

Decent house
We had a very good time at this property! The house fits the description but has a few drawbacks included it has a small waterfront (if you want to go in the water, you need water shoes!) that is not immediately adjacent to the property. The yard is great and the owner is great to work with, very flexible and responds quickly! Five stars for the owner. Unfortunately the house is showing its age/ use with many things in poor condition including some of the mattresses and roll out beds and deck stairs. It also was not as clean as we would have preferred with dirt and dust around and under many items when moved. We had a great weekend and the area is nice to enjoy, but keep in mind that it is a rental property and not in pristine condition. Would consider to stay again, but temper expectations!

a family get together
We were able to have all three families stay together. There were plenty of space for us to be together (and apart if desired), and the large yard was fun for the kids. They went fishing and kayaked at the beach. We had a terrific time.

Large Family Retreat
We had 8 adults and 10 children. Had a great time with plenty of room. The yard between the house and the lake was a playground for the kids. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time. The house was clean and neat. The walk to the lake was a little long due to my surgery and my sons illness. But a golf cart fixed that for us. Had plenty af room and was very comfortable.

Wonderful Experience
We had a great time staying at Christine's lake cottage. It was big enough for our large group of adults and children. The proximity to the lake and the large back yard were perfect for daytime activities with kids. Christine was a gracious host and immediately responsive when a couple of small issues arose. We would definitely consider visiting again!

Great space for family lake weekend
My partner and I wanted to bring our families together and we couldn't have asked for a better space! We were able to comfortably fit 16 adults and took full advantage of the large deck by the dock. We also definitely appreciated that there was a good amount of parking space- even fit a small rv!

We had a great time at the lake house. We were a little disappointed that the outdoor picnic table was unusable but other than that it was a great experience. I would finitely recommend this
