This charming cottage-style lake home welcomes you and your family with its bright and cheerful ambiance, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and cozy free-standing gas fireplace. Looking for a peaceful and secluded retreat? The Smokey Hollow Lakehouse offers end-of-the road privacy on over 4 wooded acres! Spend time with your family on one of the most tranquil recreational lake in the area with fun for all seasons. You’ve found a hidden gem on the lake. Welcome to the Smokey Hollow Lakehouse!
The Lake:
Explore the lake on our free kayaks (2) and stand-up paddle boards (2), let the kids take a swim, enjoy a drink on the dock in a zero gravity lounger, or bring your own boat and park it at the dock! Throw a line in the water and reel in some Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, or Bluegill. There is lake fun for the whole family!
Spring/Summer/Fall:
You'll have full access to our “Toy Shed” where you will find corn hole, croquet, lake equipment, as well as zero gravity chairs for lounging. On a cooler day, cozy up with a book by the fireplace, check out our large selection of board games/puzzles, or enjoy family time with s’mores around a bonfire.
Winter:
Try out our free snowshoes to explore the woods or walk on the frozen lake. If ice fishing is your thing, bring your own equipment and access the lake right out the back door of the cabin. Or stay inside to sip a cup of coffee by the gas fireplace and watch the snow fall through the many oversized windows.
If you are into high speed activities, bring your own snowmobiles and enjoy access to some of the area's best trails directly from the property. You'll even have the option to park a couple snowmobiles in the garage to keep them out of the elements.
Kitchen/Dining Room:
The kitchen is stocked with the essentials needed to cook your family a gourmet meal (pots, pans, silverware, dishes, glasses, serving bowls, serving spoons, olive oil, basic spices, etc). You will also find complementary coffee, hot chocolate, and an assortment of tea.
Living Room:
The living room offers a gas fireplace, comfortable couch, vaulted ceilings, and plenty of natural light. Bring the three comfy floor chairs down from the loft for extra seating!
Sleeping Arrangements:
There is a bedroom on the main floor with a comfortable memory foam queen mattress.
The upstairs open loft offers a full futon and three twin beds separated into two connected spaces.
You also have access to an adorable little bunkhouse just steps away from the backdoor of the cabin (open Memorial Day to Labor Day - there is no heat or AC). The bunkhouse has a full bed on the bottom and a twin bed on the top, electricity, a skylight, and a ceiling fan. This is a fun option for the kids!
Workspace:
No one likes to work on vacation, but if you must, you'll enjoy fiber fast internet and perfect lake views from the desk up in the loft. You may also spot some turkeys or deer wondering through the yard while you're on that Zoom call.
Bathrooms:
There is a full bathroom on the main floor with a washer and dryer (and laundry detergent for your use). There is also a half bath in the loft.
