Lake of the Woods House | The Big Chill: a 4-bedroom house on Sweetbriar Park at Lake of the Woods

4 Bedroom House in Lake of the Woods, Locust Grove

Enjoy a comfortable and fun-loving stay at Lake of the Woods in this large 4-bedroom house on a recreational park with plenty of entertainment. Sweetbriar Park is your back yard with 1/4 mile walking track, exercise stations, soccer fields, half basketball court and large tots playground. Plenty of indoor and outdoor family fun! Only a five-minute walk from one of the lake beaches and a five-minute drive from the Clubhouse and its beach.
House has a main floor master suite and large living room with cathedral ceiling. Eat in the kitchen or take dinner to the beautiful bar in the living room to watch one of the house's large screen TVs. The four bedrooms combine to have 2 king beds, two twin beds, 1 bunk bed (with full bed on bottom and twin on top). Property is perfect for families or groups of friends (but no parties, please). New dual-zone HVAC ensures comfortable temperatures upstairs and down. In-home washer and dryer. Lots of kitchen amenities including toaster oven, pop-up toaster, water heater, microwave, range, dishwasher and a new refrigerator with in-door icemaker and water dispenser. Plenty of counter space with a kitchen island. It's nothing terribly fancy, but it's got everything a kitchen needs (plenty of pots, plates, utensils, etc.). Dining table in the kitchen has a bench that seats three, two chairs along one side, and space for another chair or two at the end of the marble-top table. Overflow beyond the kitchen table goes to the four seats at the bar in the living room just steps away (what fun!).
The living room has a leather La-Z-Boy sofa and loveseat with four combined reclining seats, large screen 65" TV with Roku sound bar and streaming services, a Blue-Ray/DVD player, DVD collection and hi-fi stereo. The large, gorgeous wooden bar and it's stools offers that "this place is for having a good time" vibe. It's where our kids love to sit and eat. A beautiful oversize rug fit for a castle really ties the room together.
The master bathroom has a dedicated standing shower and an oversize soaking tub, a double-sink vanity and a separate room for the toilet. The upstairs bathroom has a shower/tub combo. A half-bath on the main floor offers convenience.
The rec room off the main hallway has a high-quality foosball table, a two-player arcade machine with thousands of games (like Asteroids, Double Dragon, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Galaga, etc.) and state of the art pinball machines (*special instructions and additional expenses apply for use of pinball machines). A sound-barrier helps dull the rec room noise.
There is no back deck but we've made the front patio a wonderful place to spend time. We have mosquito netting, outdoor curtains and sun shades up to keep out the bugs and enhance the feeling of privacy. There's a six-chair (with comfortable cushions) wicker dining set and glass-top table for enjoying meals and conversation. In the warmer months, a 50" TV is wall-mounted so you can spend days and evenings watching TV programs, YouTube and streamed movies outside. In the evenings, treat yourself to a cool mood by turning on the strings of blue lights. It's our little oasis and we love it!
There are three large-screen TVs in the house. 65" in the living room and an identical 65" in the master bedroom. A 50" TV rotates between the upstairs bedroom with king bed during the cooler months and the outdoor patio in the warmer months. Internet wifi with password protection is included. And house has an alarm system (it will be deactivated during you stay) that has emergency buttons for police and fire. There are also exterior cameras offering additional safety, but we've never had a problem and the Lake community is very safe.
The driveway is able to accommodate up to four cars.
In addition to the entertainment at home, Lake of the Woods has a lot to offer. There are six beaches on the main lake with a second lake specifically stocked for fishing. Several tots and outdoor playgrounds. An excellent golf course with a lunch cafe and reasonable course fees. There's even an equestrian center offering horseback riding, summer camps and lessons. A Clubhouse with restaurant and outdoor deck during the warmer months (*we highly recommend Sunday brunch). Across from the entrance to the lake (a five minute drive) is a Food Lion, Burger King, Japanese sushi restaurant, pizza and subs (they deliver). Nearby is Clear Water Grill (excellent bbq) and Walmart. The 25 MPH speed limit around the lake make it attractive for walking, running and biking. Lake of the Woods is one of the best kept secrets on the east coast. Come enjoy it!
*We have board games and other fun stuff (basketball, soccer ball, frisbees, etc.) in a closet off the living room
**We have a large dog crate for those who bring their dog (no dogs on the furniture, please)
***Refrigerator has some basic items like ketchup, mayo, etc.
****There is an outdoor grill available upon request. If you think you will use it, we will bring it out of the garage for you.
*****We have an antique desk in the master bedroom and can also set up a desk in the upstairs bedroom with king bed, complete with desk chair, monitor, external keyboard and mouse, laserjet printer.
We're happy to assist with any questions while you stay at our fabulous house.

Summary: Nick was awesome. He was very kind and very understanding. He was prompt with replies and was a great host. The house is awesome. The arcade area was a hit. The rooms and linens were all top notch. The ice cream was the cherry on top!
