If you enjoy fishing or boating, it's only a few steps from your wrap around porch to the boat house with lift. You may just enjoy relaxing on the porch, drinking your morning cup of coffee or in the afternoon or evening you can relax in the hot tub. Most of the furnishings are included to make you move easier. The open floor plan shown in the photos speak for themselves.

The majestic oak tree is a focal point of the backyard. After you come back in from spending the day on the lake fishing, step over to the fish cleaning table to clean your catch of the day and then over to the outdoor kitchen to cook your dinner. Sit around the picnic table under the oak tree while eating your dinner and watch the scenery of the canal and the woods across on the other side of the canal . You never know what you might see. While making the pictures, an otter swam by. Come sit on the porch or dock and see for yourself how picturesque, peaceful and quiet it is on the water.
