O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Po strmi, vijugasti poti se spustite do 38-sobnega skandinavskega jezerskega dvorca z ročno izrezljanimi nosilci in majhnimi, prijetnimi nišami. Lora Knight je številne sobe opremila z uvoženimi nordijskimi tekstilijami in lokalnim kamnom, kar vsakemu prostoru daje topel, kočarski vonj po borovcih in lanenem olju.

Poudarki: Stopite noter in vaš pogled ujame ogromen granitni kamin ter zapletene lesene rezbarije, ki jih je Lora Knight vztrajala, naj bodo izdelane po tradicionalnih skandinavskih metodah. Večina obiskovalcev opazi, da bližina jezera napolni sobe s šibkim slanim vonjem, odmevom valov in svetlobo, zaradi katere izrezljane vozle zasijejo kot nekaj iz koče ob fjordu.

Notranji nasveti

Wear sturdy shoes, the 1-mile trail down is steep and can be slippery on granite steps.
Arrive before 9am to beat the parking rush and get unobstructed photos of the house from the shore.
Bring layers, winds off the lake can be chilly even on warm days.
Skip the steep interior if mobility is limited, instead enjoy the shoreline viewpoints and Eagle Falls trail.
