I am the 3rd generation owner of this classic pine Lake Cottage. I spent every Summer there while growing up. It's still my and my family's favorite place to vacation. The Cottage is so homey and cozy, and the big granite rock is so unusual and fun to enjoy while gazing at the mountains/sunset/lake/weather coming in. The dock accommodates boats real well. I also still love to go into the water off my dock and swim to the small beach a short distance away; I particularly love the sandy bottom, the graduated water depth for children, and the large, flat boulders in the water to sit on.

Check out the back porch area as you get near the back door; you'll notice the Granite rock that we exposed a few years ago as we built a garden next to the porch. I love to garden, and this area, and the Hostas that are seen from the kitchen window; the open side yard with native plants; and also the natural plants/tiny young trees in the small island off the back porch.....are some of my favorite chill-out spots!

My Cottage has been in my family for 3 generations. I remember so many fun things, especially every July 4th eating salmon my grandmother cooked; fishing, and catching bass & horn pout; learning to water ski in the cove; sitting on the front porch watching the neighbors' fireworks ! So many great memories....swimming at the beach; playing cards and checkers on the big porch while the birds sang and the weather changed; playing Scrabble with my relatives who lived up the steep hill across from our driveway; spending time listening to stories of this area from my grandmother and parents; taking our little boat around Rattlesnake and Diamond Islands; cooking lobsters and corn on the cob; and spending such quality time with friends and family there...and it's still as much fun now as it was then!!

This area of the world is so peaceful, yet exciting, with lots to do. It's gorgeous, and the sounds of the loons, the wind through the pines, and the Lake are so incredible. I've been to a lot of places, but this is so special. Come and sign my Guest Book, and read about the other Guests' adventures, like baby's first steps, getting engaged, teaching puppies to swim, getting to know each other again, laughing a lot, and spending quality friends and family time together!!!

The Cottage itself has a wonderful knotty pine interior, and in the living room we can see a few of the carpenters' finger prints on the cross beams from the original construction (this is a great guessing game for kids....!). The coziness and simplicity of the Cottage is so fantastic....after months of working hard out there in the world, a real Sanctuary. Or after a fun day exploring the Lake and the Mountains, a peaceful welcoming place. The front porch is everyone's favorite hang-out spot: plenty to see, great eating area, and fantastic family & friends gathering area! Terrific country smells, too, especially of the pines, and of the air when rain is about to come. Great and wonderful changing colors of the Sky and Mountains during sunsets! And experiencing the thunderstorms rolling in from across the Lake is such great fun, for kids and adults (Hey..... Yellow Lightning + Green Pines = Blue Color in the Sky!!!).
