Cozy Winter Lake House, Fireplace, Sauna, Sunrises

Little House on the Lake is a peaceful, cozy winter retreat surrounded by nature and quiet beauty. Wake up to striking sunrises over the lake through large picture windows, enjoy crisp walks along the shoreline, and settle into slow, unhurried days. After time outdoors, warm up in the sauna or relax by the gas fireplace as the light fades and the woods grow still. It’s an ideal setting for a winter staycation, a quiet reset or a change of pace close to amenities, sports and entertainment venues.
