Great secluded cabin

My partner dog and I stayed a weekend here to get out of the city for a bit. The cabin is very nice and well set up for a couple. We really appreciated the fire pit and wood pile which we were able to use every night as it wasn't fire season yet. One thing to note is that the lake is actually a bog, which is cool, but also not as clear as one may be expecting. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

The reason the water is colored is because of the tannins from the peat and tree roots. There is nothing harmful in the water. We've been swimming here for 20 years as well as guests who realize that this is not a chlorinated swimming pool but a natural, unpolluted lake fed by the aquifer and circulates constantly.

About the host

Hosted by James Barlow

Host profile image
As a retired builder, developer, I enjoy continued landscaping and vegetable/berry/fruit growing and preservation of such on my 40 acres as well as charcuterie, sourdough and cheese production. I take advantage of the local mountain hiking and fishing as well as Donaldson steelhead/trout triploids in lake depending on otter predation.

Why they chose this property

I bought this 40 acres in part due to the 2.5 acre lake at its center as well as the seclusion. I built my home-the Lodge- and sculpted the grounds with extensive soil amendments for organic food production and landscaping.

What makes this property unique

New cottage on lake with private dock. Hot tub a short walk or drive around lake. Fresh organic produce available for purchase in season.
The property is a a nature cornucopia.
I named the property after the common Nighthawk who migrates from South America to nest here in summer, one of the longest migrations to North America. Their acrobatic maneuvers are extraordinary as well as the unique behavior of plummeting toward earth, to pull up and create a loud boom which is due to their wing/bone structure.
I've identified 56 species of birds on the property and await new arrivals especially migratory.
The Pacific tree frog and other indigenous amphibians proliferate in the lake. The frogs sing me to sleep with their mating songs in spring and summer.
The lake is surrounded by a peat bog of varying vibrant varieties as well as wild cranberries, Labrador Tea, Sundews-our carnivorous resident- and plants unique to peat bogs.
Many species of wild life live here. Bobcat, black bear, cougar, mountain beavers as well as beavers, otters, red squirrels, deer. None have been aggressive toward us.
Mushrooming in fall is as good as it gets. Chanterelles, boletus, lions main etc.
