About The Lookout
Beautiful split level lake home located in a quiet cove just off the main channel. Ideal for kayakers and boaters due to its gentle slope from house to dock, protective cove and near the ski area. Centrally located to all 3 marinas.
To attract the highest quality guests, we require a security deposit hold ($500) by the guest. This is used for damaged/missing property and rule violations.
