Private Lake Cottage - Gull Lake chain

Charming one bedroom / one bath private cottage that is nestled up to the shore line of Lake Margaret, one of seven lakes on the Gull Lake chain. This a perfect get away while safety and social distancing is still of heightened importance. We'll ensure the cottage is very clean and professionally sanitized to its highest standards. The interior is super cozy, completely finished in knotty pine. It's the perfect romantic get away, or the perfect place to "distance".

Treehouse (LOTR) Stargazer Skycabin

Our LOTR themed treehouse has been described as a "love letter to Tolkien himself." We have been featured on PBS and WJON radio. Joan and I live on the acreage, about 200 ft. from the Wizard's Cottage and very far from the treehouse, which is located on the back part of the acreage. It has a fenced-in portion that makes up the Shire Garden. Down the hill is our nod to Mordor. Feel free to visit and dare to open the "Mor Do(o)r." Diversity is welcome.
