Perfect for families with an additional relative, friend or caregiver who would appreciate some space of their own. This rustic chic Lakeside Cottage features three bedrooms and two bathrooms on one level, plus a separate bunkie equipped with its own 2-piece bathroom, outdoor shower, reading nook, and flatscreen television.

Offering a variety of outdoor spaces, guests can lounge on the wide deck, socialize around the high-top cafe table overlooking the bay or read quietly on the two-person rocker. Beautifully landscaped with native plants and a sweeping granite staircase leading to an expansive dock, Sapphire is perfect for water sports.
