Life on the Decks: Your Front-Row Seat to Peaceful Lake Views
There’s something magical about stepping outside, coffee in hand, and being greeted by the sound of water, the warmth of the sun, and a view that just makes you breathe a little deeper. At the Lilac Lakehouse, the decks aren’t just outdoor spaces—they’re extensions of the way we hope you feel here: unhurried, connected, and fully at ease.
Whether you’re starting your day with quiet reflection or wrapping it up with a sunset toast, our multiple decks give you the perfect place to linger, lounge, or gather—any time of day.
The Main Lakeview Deck
This is the showstopper—the kind of space that instantly makes you say “We’re definitely having dinner out here.” The main deck stretches toward the lake, offering uninterrupted views of the calm cove and wide-open skies.
What you’ll find:
Comfy outdoor seating areas with soft cushions
A dining table perfect for meals, games, or wine tastings
Plenty of room for groups to spread out or come together
A front-row seat to the sunset every single night
It’s where you’ll probably spend more time than you expect—reading, laughing, eating, or just watching the water change colour hour by hour.
The Side Morning Deck
Tucked just off to the side, this deck catches the gentle morning light—ideal for early risers or anyone seeking a quieter, more private corner.
Perfect for:
Morning coffee or tea
Gentle stretching or yoga
Catching up on a good book with birdsong in the background
This smaller space offers a little escape for when you need a slower start or solo moment.
The Lower Patio by the Pizza Oven
Head downstairs and out the back doors, and you’ll find the tiled lower patio—home to the BBQ and beloved wood-fired pizza oven. Covered by a charming pergola, this area is made for golden-hour cooking and casual family-style dinners.
What’s here:
A sturdy dining setup
Access to firewood (right beneath the oven)
A view of the garden and lake beyond
Shade and shelter, perfect for hot afternoons or drizzly evenings
💡 Pro tip: fire up the pizza oven and host your own backyard pizzeria night. There’s a blog post with dough recipes and tips available, and it’s a guest favorite!
🌿 A Few Gentle Reminders
To help keep everything clean and comfy for everyone:
Please don’t move the outdoor furniture—we’ve designed the layout to flow naturally with the space and views
No need to cover anything if it rains—just let nature do its thing
Return any paddles, towels, or outdoor cushions to their spots before checkout
Whether you're soaking in a slow sunrise or sharing a bottle of wine under the stars, the decks at the Lilac Lakehouse are designed to invite pause, connection, and presence.
So go ahead—bring out the blanket, pour another glass, and stay a while. Out here, the best plans are often the ones you didn’t make at all.
