The Space

Built for large groups and families

Four private king bedrooms and a quadruple queen bunk room sleep 16 without anyone drawing the short straw. The whole west side of the house looks out over Intermediate Lake.

Great room fireplace under the beams

The main floor faces the view

The great room has vaulted beamed ceilings, hickory floors and a fireplace, and the furniture sits low and faces the windows so the lake stays in sight from every seat.

The open kitchen is set up to cook for the whole group, with a dining table for 10 and four more seats at the island. Three of the king bedrooms are on this floor, each with its own door.

  • Vaulted beamed great room
  • Fireplace and TV
  • Kitchen island for 4
  • Dining table for 10
  • Three king bedrooms
  • Primary soaking tub
  • Covered deck with fire table
  • Two workspaces

A whole floor for the kids

The walkout lower level has the fourth king bedroom, set up exactly like the three upstairs, and the bunk room: two queen loft beds with two more queens underneath. The kids will claim it in under a minute.

Next door is a second living area with a kitchenette, pool table, game table and arcade, plus a full bath, all on polished concrete with in-floor radiant heat. There's also a secret room off one of the bedrooms. Your group gets to find it.

They're for adults or supervised children. Skip alcohol before and during sessions and keep sessions short. If anyone in your group has a heart condition or is pregnant, check with a doctor first.

Yes. The house is on a hilltop off a private road. The roads are plowed daily, but from November through March plan on an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle, since two-wheel drive can struggle on the hill.
