The dramatic stonework serves as the focal point of the two-story living room. The main floor features a primary bedroom suite with a study, screened room, covered porch, and generous kitchen with lakeside dining area. Upstairs you'll find 4 guest bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus the "Lake Room", boasting splendid lake views through the treetops.
