This place? Ugh. Obsessed. The whole vibe is amazingly cute and cozy, like someone distilled comfort into a house and said “here, heal.” The beautifully set table and overly stocked linens and kitchen made it feel like staying at the home of a friend who actually has their life together. The house layout is wild in the best way — every room flows, every corner makes sense, nothing cramped or awkward.The views are the kind that make you stop mid‑sentence because the light changed. And the telescope? Amazing detail. I lost track of time just staring at the water like a Victorian poet with too many feelings.Privacy-wise, “private” doesn’t even begin to cover it. It felt like our own little pocket universe. I even got some remote work done without wanting to fling my laptop into the lake, which is saying something.When I wasn’t working, I was out rock picking along the shoreline like a gremlin set free. Pure joy.Everything about this place is intentional, peaceful, and stupidly restorative. I’m already plotting my return because I cannot wait to go back.
