A little history
Sunrise Lakehouse was built in 1940. A major renovation happened in the early 1980’s. The current owners started making major changes to the landscape starting in 2018. It continues to be an ongoing project. Here are some before and after photos of different areas of the property to showcase the amount of effort put in by several different families over the years.
