Our lake house is located on beautiful Crawford Lake. Enjoy spectacular views from the the picture windows facing the lake or from the large patio just outside the main living area. We have an ideal setup for large groups with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2 living spaces and 2 kitchens.

Outside we have a large backyard stretching out to a sandy beach. We have a dock that can be used for fishing or docking your boat. The boat launch is located right next to our lot.

Our lake house has two living areas. The larger of the two has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining area, a living room, and a laundry room. The smaller "annex" has 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a kitchen, a living room and laundry area. Guests will have access to the entire home and property.

The lake house is located on Crawford Lake, an all sports-lake. The boat launch is conveniently located right next to our lot. The beach has a sandy bottom. Guests can enjoy fishing off of the dock for blue gill, perch, catfish, pike and bass; boating (our dock contains tie off locations for your boat); paddling around the lake on the available kayaks(2), canoe(1), and/or SUP board(1); early morning walks around the lake; enjoying the wildlife and scenery (if you are lucky you will spot our resident bald eagles that nest on the south end of the lake or you may spot a black bear); roasting s'mores around a camp fire (roasting sticks are provided); playing on the beach and in the water with the variety of beach and water toys provided; or visiting local tourist sites.
