That sounds lovely. I'm really enjoying the thought of all the Grove children having their swimming rites of passage in a lake rather than going to the local YMCA. Gloriously picturesque. Have you ever seen that Twilight Zone episode where the man falls asleep on the train and goes to Willoughby? I think we both live in Willoughbys.
Tabor used to have a lake just down the road within walking distance, but it was never a part of the CMA owned property and somewhere along the line it became a separate community. It's actually pretty interesting in itself as a snapshot of a 30s lake community out of time. It has little rough cottages that were built in the 30s through 50s or so and is still summer only. A few people in Tabor have places there and I hear its very rustic.
This area is comprised largely of converted lake communities. I just thought about it for a few seconds and came up with 7 just in the towns of Denville and Parsippany which places them within 2 to six miles of me. There are more, but I can't even remember all of their names. It's really pretty entertaining because everything will seem quite normal as you drive along the major roads, but any turn is just as likely to land you in the middle of a bunch of tiny little lakeside houses as it is to put you in a boring suburban subdivision. My favorite has little log, stone and half-timbered tudor cottages that look like something out of a storybook.
