The cottages sit across from each other. They are on the same piece of land and share a common fence, a common walkway, and common parking. The beach is across the street from the cottages and down a flight of stairs. It is a private beach for the exclusive use of our renters only.

The water is very shallow and ideal for swimming for the first 150ft to 200ft, depending on the month. The slope of the lake is also very shallow – 25 ft out from the shore is only about knee deep for an average adult during August. It is great for swimming and similar activities. To get an idea of the depth you should see this picture of our relatives.
