Disclaimer: This is not a hotel, it is our home, we are opening it up to share with you. we hope that you value and appreciate our place and treat it like your own. Our Price per night - VRBO collects taxes and fees that go directly to them for using their site. This is not part of the hosts price per night. Our price per night includes running a hot tub year round including throughout winter, a sauna, and keeping all the amenities ready for guests. If you are concerned about the hosts price per night we encourage you to always look at the other vrbo and available hotels nearby, as there are many. we know they will almost always charge you the same if not more per person AND they overlook the freeway, not on the lake and do not offer these private amenities.brbrBedroom 1: the private master bedroom with luxury queen pillow top mattress ( sleeps on the soft side) single bed that also doubles as a day bed to watch TV, dresser, large TV with chrome cast to stream from your device ( you must know how to stream from your device to use this TV ) and walk in closet overlooking the lake with private full bathroom attached . The Hot tub conveniently sits right outside; sliding glass doors, and overlooks the lake on the deck.brbrBedroom 2: Luxury queen pillowtop mattress ( sleeps medium soft ) over looking garden with walk in closet, dresser, TV with Roku device for netflix . Full bathroom 2 is directly next to this bedroom. brOur wood fired sauna is located right over the lake, and is accessible from the path on the right side heading down. This is an authentic Finnish wood fired sauna, you will hear the wood crackle and pop as you over look the lake from the windows. It is lined with cedar benches and you will smell the cedar as it heats up. This sauna takes plenty of time to heat up and you must know how to start a fire to use it. Its a great experience for the rustic outdoors, especially in long winters. We ask that if you are interested in utilizing it during your stay that you bring firewood with you. It would not be possible for us to haul wood for each guests sauna stay especially if you plan on using it for a full day. We provide starter, lighter, essential oils and of course the sauna! Please follow all fire safety precautions. If you need a hatchet to chop your wood please bring your own , due to safety reasons we cannot provide this item. It is best to purchase thin cut firewood for the sauna. brThe hot tub and sauna would be entirely yours. As a host who has traveled extensively and stayed in both vrbos and hotels the price per night for a hot tub and sauna on and overlooking the lake to yourself is unbeatable. brWe hope you enjoy it! brbr*Enjoying the Lake* We have 2 single kayaks you may borrow for no additional fee (our kayaks are provided in summer- when lake temps are not hazardous). Life vests required for all water activities. Our dock is closed from Nov- mid April as water temps are unsafe during winter months. on the east side of the lake there is a public access point to the lake for the general public year round. brFishing- If you like to fish, this is the spot.
