An island property that will knock your socks off here on Redstone Lake!  When we talk about islands we talk about boat rides to and from, secluded atmosphere and just a different way of cottaging BUT at Hunter's Island you'll not only have every convenience as a mainland cottage but the "to and from" is 5 minutes away at most.
