Enjoy some peace at Locke Lake Waterfront Retreat As you step out of the car and stretch, you immediately feel the warmth of the sun on your shoulders and hear the birds chirping as you first lay eyes on Locke Lake Waterfront Retreat. The trees sway in the breeze as your eye catches upon expansive views of the sparkling lake, just beyond the lush landscaped and multi-tiered patio in the back yard. As you enter the house, you will instantly feel at home with the comfortable, modern farmhouse décor. Drop your bags, and step onto the large back deck to take in the full view of the lake, then settle in to the chaise lounge chairs with a drink and listen to the loons while someone starts dinner on the grill. After dinner, enjoy s’mores around the fire pit and listen to the music and laughter of family and friends echo across the lake. You can relax on the couch and watch a movie, or head to the game room and play board games, a rousing game of shuffleboard, or the arcade game Golden Tee, then retire to your bedrooms for a restful evening. When you wake up, you can greet the quiet morning from the screened in porch with a cup of coffee in your hand as you watch the sun rise over the lake. As everyone else awakens, you get ready to enjoy the day of nearby hiking, dock fishing, waterfront swimming, boating, and playing. There is a private dock, nearby walkable beach, boats, a fire pit, a family game room, screened in porch, well equipped kitchen, four Smart TVs, and many comfortable places to unwind at Locke Lake Waterfront Retreat!__________________________________________ -- THE PROPERTY --3 beds | 2.5 bathrooms | 2500 sq ft | Private dock and lake access*FIRST FLOOR*MASTER BEDROOM: First floor master bedroom off of the kitchen with Queen bed and en-suite bathroom with shower, as well as washer and dryer available for use.
