Welcome
Welcome to The Gifford Lakehouse. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, get ready to unwind on this calm secluded lake. Surrounded by wilderness, pour yourself a cup of coffee and sit out on the deck overlooking the lake...it's nothing but birds chirping and the breeze through the trees from here on out.
Situated on 25 acres in the north country, bring your boat, fishing pole or snowmobile. Truly an outdoor enthusiasts' dream, The Lakehouse will provide you with some of the best fishing and direct access to the C4 snowmobile trail.
Not a fisherman? Let the kids hit the sandy beach and swim out to the floating dock while you catch a good book in a nearby hammock.
With modern amenities and a rustic touch, once you hit up the local grocery store there won't be anything left to do but enjoy your stay. One thing we promise you won't have...is any stress.
