It is a beautiful post and beam cottage, with windows everywhere. The floors are pine, there is an open plan kitchen, dining room, and living room. A wood burning stove sits in the middle of the large room. The ceilings are two floors high, with a second set of windows on all four sides 16 feet high. It looks like a pagoda. There are three small bedrooms. One flight up is a bedroom with a queen size bed, surrounded on three sides by windows. The 4th side overlooks the living room. It is like a crows nest, which was one name we thought of for the building. On the main floor, are two bedrooms, each with a wall of windows. One has a queen size bed. The other has bunk beds with a double bed on the bottom. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher and trash compactor. There are many pots and pans, including a wok, and many small appliances such as a cappuccino machine, coffee grinder, coffee maker, waffle maker, electric ice cream machine, Sunbeam mixer, blender, toaster, microwave, food processor etc. We have a water purification system and the water is safe to drink from all the faucets. We also have a water cooler, which takes the 5 gallon water bottles. There is a large deck across the front of the cottage that wraps around to the back where there is a gas bbq. There are hammocks and swinging chairs on the property. There are tables to eat out on the deck and chairs to relax in as you take in the beautiful view of the lake. In back of the cottage is a shed with a washer and dryer and freezer, and a half size basketball court lit at night, with mural, and an outdoor [hot] shower. The dock [79 steps down] has a deck with two Adirondack chairs and a chaise lounge, a shed with refrigerator for cool drinks and storage for tubes, fishing poles, water skis and paddles. We compost our fruits and vegetables in a composter in the back of the cottage, not only for environmental reasons, but to limit the trash that we collect. All trash has to be brought to the dump. The trash compactor considerably limits the amount. We also recycle. The dining table seats 8 comfortably, but can be extended to fit 10, 12 or even 16 by adding on any of the three outdoor tables that are the same height and width. Most people bring their iPods, but there is a CD player in the living room. There is also a ping pong table, chess set, board games and puzzles. Read less
