The huge wraparound deck and the amazing flat rock terrace on the lakeshore helped us overlook all the work that lay ahead. In the past 16 years there has always been a "project" as part of our vacations at the lake. We have chosen to leave the yard mostly "natural" to cut back on the outside yard work and to encourage wildlife to enter the yard.
Fishing from the shoreline of your own property in May and June is a thrill that never gets old! Seeing foxes in the yard and otters on the dock still leads to a sense of wonder... the occasional bear in the yard, not so much!
In our travels to and from the lake, moose, deer, and even caribou have been spotted. Wolves have been seen and heard and this is always a thrill! Eagles, osprey, herons, cormorants, all manner of waterfowl are sure to be seen and enjoyed. The mournful sound of a loon calling over the water after the sun is down is truly the iconic sound of the wilderness, and still lends a thrill each time it is heard.
The shoreline is highly varied and uniquely beautiful. Sightseeing around the lake is something we continue to do even after all these years. Bring something along to take pictures...!
We continue to add amenities and "toys" to the house and yard. Feel free to use them, but please treat them with respect as if they were your own.
