The whole family will be comfortable gathering in the main cottage, the guest sleeping area above the garage is great for teenagers. The beautiful, sandy beach is great for children and adults alike.

Take in the view from the large windows that look on the water from each of the living room, sunroom and master bedroom. The gallery kitchen opens into the dining area with lovely pine floors, where there is a table that will sit 8 people. A cozy sunroom with futon and easy chairs leads off the dining area – a comfortable place to relax when indoors.

The water is Clearwater Lake is just like its name – clear and clean. The shallow walk in entry with firm sandy lake bottom makes it a real treat! Explore the various bays or nearby islands searching for blueberries –  much of which is undeveloped crown land.

After a busy day, relax in the hammock or on one of the two decks facing the water, at night gather around the firepit. Spend time in the small sitting room off the primary bedroom on the upper level with romantic view of the lake, at night gaze at the stars through the skylight.
