We provide a beautiful pontoon that holds 10-12 people, a small fishing boat with trolling motor that seats 3, 2 kids' kayaks and 1 adult kayak, and a paddle boat that seats 2 adults or 4 kids. Everyone will enjoy fishing off the dock (new dock fall 2018) and jumping into the beautiful lake off the pontoon. Kids of all sizes will enjoy the water mat. Across the lake is a sandy area where pontoons anchor to enjoy the sun and allow smaller children to swim in shallower water. Our home is a perfect spot for an extended family vacation. Â

Take a ride on the Au Sable River Queen and take in the beautiful fall scenery or bring a group of ladies for a weekend of scrapbooking/crafting (3 or 4 night rentals available Oct-April). Bring your cross country skis & snowmobiles in winter to enjoy miles of groomed trails in nearby Tawas/Oscoda area (30-45 minute drive from our house) or enjoy ice-fishing and ice skating (we have multiple sizes on site) on our lake.
