Home 1: Russell's Fort at White Oak Point (1775)
A true showstopper—an authentic Revolutionary War-era fort built in 1775 with original hand-hewn logs, disassembled and restored (as seen on Barnwood Builders). The renovation adds modern comforts and updated technology while preserving the home's historic character. This 3-story fort includes 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, plus its own private hot tub and sauna.

Home 2: The Cabin at White Oak Point (1930s)
Just steps away, this classic 1930s cabin features original period hardwood floors and warm mountain-lake style. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, it's ideal for added privacy—great for grandparents, couples, or a quieter wing of the group. The cabin also includes its own private hot tub and sauna.

Lakefront Outdoor Living
With hundreds of feet of lake frontage and generous deck space across the property, your group will have plenty of room to relax in the sun, dine outdoors, and take in the water views. Enjoy time on the lake with the included kayaks and stand-up paddleboards—so everyone has a way to get out on the water.
