House on the Hill
Large limestone slabs form a path that leads from the lake to the main house, perched on a grassy hill overlooking a private bay.

There's also a capacious, old-fashioned boathouse – the kind that shelters boats in slips below and visiting family and friends up above. It’s a place where three bedrooms, a kitchen and living room offer ample spillover space. "When we were growing up, the house was always full of people," says Amy, "but it never seemed small."
