As a guest of this cabin, you also have access to the Homeowners' Beach which is a great place to let the kids dig in the sand while you sit at one of the picnic tables in the shade. Canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddle-boards are all allowed on these lakes (motorcraft are not). The quiet flat-ish streets around the lake are great for walking or biking around. The cabin is on Tamarack Way and is about four blocks from the lake and a walk or quick bike ride to the Homeowners' Beach on Serene Road. More information and photos can be found at: http://buttercuptravel.blogspot.com/.  Last year's satisfied auction winner says,"just wanted to get back in touch and let you know what a great time we had at your house. We hiked every day and spent a good amount of time at the lake paddle boarding. Weather was perfect and exploring the area was fun. It was perfectly relaxing and rejuvenating. Didn't even really realize how badly we needed space to unwind. Thanks very much for sharing your home and all its luxuries. There was nothing we needed that wasn't easily found."

Not available Ski Week, Spring Break Week, and major holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day). We do ask that whomever purchases this item at auction pay for any damages they may do to the cabin (rather than asking for a deposit).  Expires November 15, 2016.
