Description
Circa 1910. The state's largest lake is just a short walk from this turn-of-the-century home that is furnished with many antiques. Boasting more than 900 miles of shoreline, the lake is perfect for fishing and boating. Each of the well-appointed guest bedrooms have private outside access; several offer lake views. Weather permitting, breakfast is served on the veranda, surrounded by gorgeous scenery and serenaded by songbirds. The veranda also is appealing for relaxing on wicker chairs, a swing or hammock.
