Wander down to the decking and sink into the hot tub beneath the stars, or gather around the firepit near the water’s edge, wrapped in throws as the flames flicker and the lake laps nearby.

Lit steps lead to the private jetty - a magical spot for launching paddleboards or simply soaking in the scenery.

Be sure to pack your watersports gear - this private jetty is your launchpad for unforgettable water adventures.
