Overview:
The California style kitchen and huge skylight are an inviting integration to kitchen, dining and living room. Walls are hand faux with the look of suede leather. The bathroom is deco with creative tile and beams. As the sun comes up, you'll awake to enjoy that perfect cup of coffee on the upper deck and gleefully see it's first light streaks through the mountains. During the evenings the full moon will overwhelm you glistening off the clam lake. At the east side of the house you'll enjoy larger decks where entertaining, bbqs and good conversation will happen. Our yard is full of succulents, old growth and fruit trees. Most pets are welcome, we do charge a per pet fee. For lake days and hours of operation check on their website or call dpt. of boating and waterways.
