Enjoy a FUN-filled escape in our home set on a 5-acre sand surrounded lake (Beach Lake) with your own private beach! Wake up to the sunrise glistening off the water or watch the gorgeous sunset over the lake around a smoke-less firepit on the patio. Just minutes from Castle Rock Lake (½ a mile from the nearest boat launch), close to great dining options such as Pine Cove Bar & Grill (mmm, smash burgers!), Dirty Turtle Bar & Marina (new tiki bar!), and Shipwreck Bay (gorgeous lake views) or stay in and grill on a charcoal grill. Plus, endless activities to enjoy throughout the year - swimming, boating, hiking, fishing, hunting, ATV/UTV trail riding, golfing, horseback riding, snowmobiling and do not forget, just relaxing.
Book a long weekend, a week, or even a month with your family & friends! Our home, also known as Larry’s Lodge, was built as our 2nd home and we want it to feel the same for you! Larry’s can sleep 12 comfortably, but 14 in total – including a queen-size pull-out sofa, all bedrooms have a view of the lake and with three full bathrooms there’s no waiting in line to take a shower! A pack n’ play, various kids’ toys and crafts are kept at the house, so you do not have to tote yours along. On chilly evenings, gather around the stone fireplace on the main level - turned on with just the flip of a switch. And, if you really need to work, there is a workstation available with a monitor!
What can you do at Larry’s Lodge?
Outdoor Activities:
In the warmer months, enjoy swimming, sand/beach toys, catch & release fishing (bring your poles!), full bag set including scoreboard & drink holders, Bottle Bash, yard Yahtzee, and jumbo Jenga. Outdoor toys are located in the garage.
In the colder months, watch the autumn colors come to life and the lake freeze over where you can enjoy ice skating or even perhaps a friendly ice hockey game! Ice fishing and ATV/UTV/snowmobiles are not permitted on Beach Lake per the HOA.
And of course, cap off your evening huddled around the outdoor fire pit for s’mores and convo, when the weather permits!
