The House - Constructed in stages as the family's needs grew, Lake House contains many levels of living area and provides an unusual degree of privacy for its residents. Rooms are large, their walls paneled with knotty pine, and their floors made of oak, except for one room whose floors are pine. Ceilings are high and decorations sparse, lending an atmosphere of space and relaxation. Every room except one looks out over the lake and mountains.

The front bedroom has twin beds that can be made up as a king-size bed. The back bedroom has a queen-size bed. One bath is off this room. The other bath opens onto the hallway. The third room is a den-bedroom combination with double doors closing off a room with an antique double bed. This room opens out onto a porch overlooking the yard and lake. The den portion contains a futon sofa and an assortment of books, games, and puzzles for the guests’ entertainment. The futon sofas here and in the master bedroom open out into full-size beds. A highchair, a booster seat, and baby gates are available for small children. A standard crib is available for a one-time set- up fee of $25.

there. We provide marshmallow forks and a small supply of native firewood.

bring their own. The invasives are coming in on firewood now. . . .
