With three bedrooms, five beds, and room for up to ten guests, it's made for family gatherings, reunions with old friends, or a quiet escape for two. MAIN FLOOR: THE ART OF EVERYDAY LUXURY Open-Concept Living, Dining & Kitchen Step into a beautifully curated open-concept space where modern elegance meets cozy cabin charm. The kitchen is very well equipped, with a full set of pots and pans, a knife block, an assorted spice rack, a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, a blender, mixing bowls, and glass baking dishes in a range of sizes. It flows seamlessly into the dining area and living room, perfect for gathering, sharing meals, or simply unwinding together. A smart TV in the living room makes movie nights easy. Primary Bedroom The serene primary bedroom offers a plush king-size bed and a spacious closet. Designed with restful tones and elegant finishes, it provides a quiet sanctuary for a rejuvenating night’s sleep. Like every bedroom in the home, it has a smart TV and bedside phone chargers. Two Full Bathrooms The main floor has two full bathrooms. One features a deep soaking tub, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. The other has been renovated with a walk-in shower, a sliding glass door, and a built-in niche stocked with the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash we provide. Private Gym & Cold Plunge A dedicated wellness room with a cold plunge and a gym stocked with a bench, dumbbells, kettlebells, and yoga mats. Large accordion glass doors open directly to the hot tub and sauna, so you can move from workout to plunge to heat in just a few steps. Laundry Room The main floor laundry room features a state-of-the-art washer and dryer with auto-dispensing detergent. We provide the detergent, fabric softener, dryer balls, and stain remover, so you can pack light. UPPER FLOOR: WHISPER-QUIET CORNERS FOR DREAMERS & DRIFTERS Two Queen Bedrooms Upstairs, you'll find two airy and inviting bedrooms, each featuring two queen-size beds, making them ideal for families or groups of friends. Soft textures, natural light, and thoughtful touches create a restful ambiance. Half Bathroom A conveniently located half bath on the upper floor ensures ease and comfort for guests staying upstairs. OUTDOOR LIVING: NATURE, WELLNESS & CONNECTION Lakeside Leisure Step outside to your private escape on the shores of Long Lake. Enjoy direct access to the water from your own dock, complete with kayaks and life vests (adults and children) for safe and easy exploration. Bringing your own boat? The public boat ramp is less than a two-minute drive away, and its launch point sits right next door to our dock. The water at our dock is shallow and best suited for pontoon boats. Boats that need deeper water can be kept at the public boat ramp area. The dock and watercraft are seasonal: we put them away when we winterize in October and bring them back in spring once the weather allows. Wellness Oasis The hot tub and sauna sit just steps from the water with open views of Long Lake. Pair them with the indoor cold plunge for a full hot-and-cold routine, perfect for sunset rituals or crisp morning moments. Dining & Gathering The gazebo-style deck is made for gathering, with outdoor dining, a gas grill, and a gas fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. Both the grill and fire pit are connected to a gas line, so there are no propane tanks to swap. Down by the lake, the wood-burning fire pit (firewood provided) sets the scene for s'mores and stargazing. The hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, and fire pits are open all year, so winter stays are every bit as restorative. Beach towels are provided for the lake, hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, and gym. Your four-legged family members are welcome too, including the big ones! This isn’t just a stay. It’s a chance to reconnect, recharge, and create lasting memories in a space crafted for balance and beauty. Your perfect escape on Long Lake awaits.

WATER AMENITIES (SEASONAL) We begin winterizing the property in October. The dock, kayaks, and other watercraft are unavailable from that point until spring, and we reopen them as soon as the weather allows. Please message us before booking if water access is important to your stay. TEMPORARY NEIGHBOR CONSTRUCTION The home next door is in the final stages of construction. The exterior is complete, and the remaining work is taking place inside. Because this is an owner-built project, we don't receive advance notice of the work schedule, so you may occasionally see or hear some activity. The hot tub, sauna, and wellness area are on the opposite side of our home and offer a private space to relax. We've adjusted our prices to reflect any possible inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding as the project wraps up.
