Get back to nature and experience lake life in style when you stay at our house

PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST 2024 BOOKINGS WE REQUIRE A FULL SUNDAY TO SUNDAY STAY. Please be aware of that when trying to book the property/home.

Get back to nature and experience lake life in style when you stay at this brand new, secluded 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom custom vacation home. Boasting over 3,200 square feet of living space and sleeping accommodations for 12, this home is the perfect lake house for families looking to get away from the stress of every day life and reconnect with nature and each other. The home sits on 135+ private acres and offers beautiful views of Bolt Lake. Spend your days swimming or fishing off the private dock, explore the lake by kayak or paddle board, and roam the beautiful property via miles of groomed trails.

THE PROPERTY
Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Double Bed | Bedroom 3: Double Bed | Bedroom 4: Double Bed | Bedroom 5: 2 Single Bunkbeds with Trundles
Natural light pours over the open great room through a towering wall of windows that overlooks a wraparound porch and the serene Bolt Lake. A stunning wood-burning fireplace surrounded by magnificent stonework is the highlight of this already beautiful space. Adjacent to the living area lies the dining area, where you can bring the whole family together around a charming wood table for a gourmet meal. The first floor also hosts an expansive family room with a large sectional sofa and an 85” flat screen TV. The family room also has a ping pong table for competitive family fun!

Prepare tonight’s menu options in the fully equipped kitchen, which comes complete with everything you’ll need to cook all your favorites. A charming breakfast bar allows you to keep the chef company while they work their magic in the kitchen.
Spend some time in the third floor loft, accessed by ladder and primed for entertaining afternoons at home. The space is brightly lit with natural light flooding through large windows and includes a top of the line Fooseball table with additional toys, games and puzzles to keep the youngest (and often oldest) members of the family entertained.
The second floor seating area features a flat screen with Internet TV so you will never miss an important game or favorite show. The DVD player and selection of family friendly DVDs offers a great option for rainy days.

The second floor also hosts 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom with double sinks and a bath/shower combo. The home is ready to accommodate the youngest of guests with an available pack-n-play for sleeping and a high chair for dining. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and offers a beautiful en suite bathroom with double sinks and a custom walk-in shower. 2 additional bedrooms, each with double beds, are conveniently located on the first floor off of the family room.

Bask in the serenity of the surrounding woods and lake views as you step out to your own outdoor oasis. The screened in porch with seating for 8 is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a guaranteed bug free dinner. Grab a good book and lounge on the wrap around porch. A short trail brings you down to the private dock where you can enjoy unrestricted access to the water during your stay. Your stay includes access to 3 kayaks, 2 stand up paddleboards, a paddleboat and a canoe. The property also boasts miles of groomed trails offering scenic nature walks all year round. For additional activities, follow one of the paths to the custom archery and 120-yard gun range. After a full day enjoying the property, a fire pit at the waters edge is the perfect spot for toasting the day and roasting marshmallows.

THE LOCATION
With a 135+ private acres and beautiful Bolt Lake as your backyard, you may never want to step foot off the property!

Memorial Day on “The Land”
We came out to the land for Memorial Day. There were 10 of us which the property easily housed in comfort. The property is in a great secluded location, and the house is clean and well maintained. The lakeside amenities were fantastic, and all around we just had a great time. We’ll definitely be trying to come back.

Great summer getaway!
Wonderful property for a QUIET vacation. The house had an open layout, with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Tons of activities to keep everyone entertained - fishing, kayaking, swimming, walking the many groomed trails around the property, campfire by the lake, etc. We all truly enjoyed our stay.

Lakeside retreat
We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch, paddling around the lakes, watching wildlife, cooking, and playing ping pong. Would recommend. Just a note (which was also noted in the listing so it wasn’t a surprise) but even in early season we found a number of ticks so just be careful and check yourself. We still had a wonderful time and everyone commented on how great the house was.

The Land was everything we could have wanted and more! We wanted a quiet place to get away with a few family members and elope. It was perfect.
