Amazing view from this recently renovated lakefront property! An ideal place for a family get-away, a romantic weekend, or a fishing trip. Come and soak away your daily grind in this quaint cottage. To be so close to the water, with the options of sitting around the fire pit, or on the deck brings ease into the cottage experience. Family members will appreciate being able to watch the kids play in the water from the deck, with the convenience and comfort of this ranch-style home. Sitting in the sunporch is the optimal way to view Pratt Lake from inside, however the views of the lake are spectacular from almost any room. There is space for yard games, all while enjoying the fun along Pratt Lake. Don't forget your 4-legged family member! He/she is welcome too.

Perfect Get Away
So peaceful and serene. The view of the lake from almost every window is spectacular. I especially liked reading in the sunroom and watching the diehard fishermen out on the lake.

The view is worth it!
Beautiful little space on Pratt Lake. The stairs from the dock make the lake super accessible and the fire pit was the perfect way to end a chilly spring night. The house itself was fine as well, but the outdoors is definitely the highlight!
