A lodge above the lake. Six guests. Absolute quiet.

The Lakehouse sits at the top of the ancient cascade gardens, hidden by a beautiful horseshoe of trees that hang over the water. It is a place to slow down, to swim, to read, to walk, to notice.

Sleeps up to six — a master bedroom and four bunks. A long open-plan living area with dining, kitchen and an island of stools looks straight out over the lake. Outside, the covered deck hovers above the water with chaise longues, benches, barbecue and boat.

The lakeside retreat is surrounded by wildlife, open-air art and historic architecture. A place to breathe.
