The driveway runs in front of the house leading to street on both end. It's wide enough to easily park 3-4 cars, but in case you need additional parking, you can park on the lawn on left side or find street parking across the house.
V. The Lake Access:
The entrance to the path leading to the lake is directly across the street in front of the house. You may find it a bit secretive because this is a small lake front for only a few nearby property owners who prefer privacy. The path is down a rocky slope so good walking shoes are recommended. The 2 canoes we provided are by the lakeside accessible to you with a key. The fishing poles, life jackets and oars are stored in the closet of the First Floor office. If you're serious about fishing, please bring your own fishing gears... Whaley lake is known for its great fishing!
