INSIDER TIPS:

-The sunrise looking out from the cabin over the lake is simply breathtaking. Our guests tell us that photos just do not do it justice. Best viewing is from the upper deck and in the upstairs bedroom. This is worth waking up early for.
- The upper deck is the perfect place to sit out on a quiet starry night enjoying a glass of wine and great conversation with loved ones.
-Birdwatching is amazing from the cottage decks. Because we are nestled up amongst the treetop canopies you can enjoy a huge diversity of common and rare birds and flying squirrels. Especially interesting during spring and fall bird migratory seasons.

Winter Notes:

Or for the more adventurous, feel free to forge your way down and explore! Shovels are provided!

A Magical Hilltop Stay
Our family had an incredible vacation week at Laura's property. The amenities were all as described and the thoughtful touches throughout the property truly gives it a feeling a home. I cannot say enough about the quality of the beds and linens, as sleep is incredibly important to me while on vacation and the beds were hotel quality. It is truly a fully stocked kitchen with all the condiments covering everything you may have left behind. The views are amazing, as is the bird watching if you are a fan, my husband listed dozens of species we did not expect to find while having morning coffee. It is an invigorating walk down to the dock, but lots of space to plan the day at the water. Laura was very responsive and was great to work with. We highly recommend.
