About this house rental
This home is named “Island” simply because it feels like one as you look across the water. Wake to lake views from bed, sunlight slowing you down before the day even begins. The decking quite literally floats on the lake, with kayaks for sunrise paddles and warm, quiet evenings by the log burner. Peaceful, simple and made for noticing just how still life can be.

Island Lodge is an architect-designed, glass-fronted retreat set right on the water.
