You will note the first white circular sign for Blueberry Pointe on the pole.
We are an island at the very end of the Sand Dam Road, ½ mile down the hill from Chestnut Hill Road.  Follow the white circular blueberry signs.

Bear right at the telephone pole with the rectangular sign for the Blueberry Pointe property and parking area. 

[Remember, take the turn to the
right.]

You’ll see ahead of you our main house:  a large white house with white wraparound decks and blue and salmon colored trim.  Once the lake comes into view straight ahead, drive slowly past our neighbors’ green/ blue garage on the left and the green house on the right.  Please drive slowly across the short one-lane causeway so as not to disturb wildlife or human life.

Once you get to the end of the causeway, park to the right in the driveway.  We recommend backing into your space, so you won’t have to negotiate around other cars on the way out later.  Welcome to Blueberry Pointe on the Lake.
