Our waterfront home is nestled on the tranquil waters of Lake Forest and boasts stunning panoramic views of natural lily pads and vegetation that encircle the entire lake. Kayaks and paddle boats will be stored for Winter starting November 1 and will return in the Spring/Summer.

Please bear in mind that there is no public beach or boat launch, and as such we recommend bringing water shoes to navigate the natural mud and lily pads at the water's edge. If you plan to swim, we suggest using a paddle boat or kayak to access deeper waters for a refreshing dip. Lake Forest also offers great fishing!
