The house does great service to the views of Swartswood Lake - every bedroom looks out to the lake, and the huge doors/windows in the main living area made it hard to actually get folks to go outside because it was so comfy and beautiful from inside! The deck overlooking the lake, the grill equipped with propane, the spacious and well-appointed kitchen, the comfy beds and nice baths, made for a wonderful place to gather with family for the week. Swimming in the clear lake off the dock, stargazing at night, and the peace and quiet were such treats. Unfortunately, kayak rentals were only on the weekends, so having access to through out the week would have sweetened our time there. We would love to come back some day!
