Enjoy the best of both worlds: woods and lake!!! This unique wood covered home is perfect for a quiet couple or a large family gathering. The house is a short, scenic drive through the woods that ends at a small gathering of houses. There are woods on 3 sides of the 3 bedroom, 2 bath chalet. Vaulted ceilings and wood beams add to the open floor plan.
Enjoy the large, two level deck that faces towering trees, wildlife, and undeveloped land on one side of the house, or have some coffee or a cocktail on the balcony on the other side of the house while enjoying the sounds of Cranberry Lake. Grilling is easy with thegas grill.
The beach access is a 2 minute drive back through the woods and around the corner, or you can make the short walk.

Both rooms have private, attached balconies for added outdoor space and views. There is a new air conditioning unit upstairs, and the cross breeze from both balcony doors cools things off nicely.
