“This lakefront property is a mixed bag, trading on its beachfront location and access to water sports, while also aiming to accommodate ski enthusiasts during the winter. I suspect families will appreciate the community vibe, flexible event spaces and dog-friendly beach access, even if the accommodations can feel dated. The Boathouse dining experience and scenic views certainly stand out.”
