This charming home was built and owned by the same family for generations. They still own it to this day, and decided to open it so others can make some of the same magical memories on the lake that they have enjoyed over the years.
While it is recently updated, it still retains its charm, and has features of an older home. It is comfortable and inviting, but is not a high end luxury property and priced accordingly. If you are looking for a budget friendly place in a fantastic location, Higher Ground is the home for you!
