Step Outside

Where the Lake
Meets the Living

A massive deck with panoramic views, a private sandy beach, a lakeside fire pit, and dining for 28 across four areas. Every outdoor space was designed for gathering, dining, and making memories.

Outdoor Dining & Entertainment

The Deck

A deck big enough that the whole group can eat outside at once, with the lake running out of sight in both directions. Two separate dining areas, so half the group can linger over coffee while the others get on with breakfast, and a Weber Genesis for the barbecue. As one guest put it: morning coffee on the stools on the porch, while the chipmunks greet you.

  • 4 KRAHN recycled poly bar-height stools with bar top
  • Hexagonal picnic table seats 8 with umbrella (KRAHN recycled poly furniture)
  • Weber Genesis gas barbecue
  • Serving trolley
  • Panoramic lake views spanning kilometres
  • Perfect for morning breakfast & sunset dining
  • Dimmable lighting for evening ambiance
