A Truly Relaxing "Experience"
From the moment we pulled up, when the owner met us personally late at night on the front porch, we knew this place was something special. The owner took us on a tour and explained how this land went back many generations for his family and he pointed out many nods at his past relatives - like the buck that his great grandfather and great grandmother got on a hunt many moons ago. The cabin is "Scandinavian" style and very open, with a windowed view of the water, which is barely 30 feet out the back door. There's a cushioned nook against the window where my wife and I savored cups of coffee and books in the morning. The kitchen has a large island where our family enjoyed together time for breakfast and after long days, laughing and swapping stories.We also loved the serene and peaceful surroundings. One evening, my wife and I sipped a glass of wine on the picnic bench by the water as a beaver across the bay swam to and fro, tending to his (her?) dam. Ducks flew overhead and the spring peepers sang in the distance. Our son tried his hand at fishing with the owner's equipment. If the weather was warmer, we would have used one of the kayaks or canoes on hand. Another major highlight of this experience was the free-standing sauna. It is "by appointment" -- which basically means that we could text the owner with a few hours notice and he would stoke the fire and get things heated up. It was pure bliss and so relaxing every night.
