Outlet
|
Outlet hasn't
always been a vacation cottage. It was once occupied by the sawyer who
ran Mr. Covey's mill. The mill produced the lumber used in the Lodge and
cottages, and was located on the outlet a short distance downstream from
our bridge. Outlet was also located near the stream, but was moved to
its present location years ago. The move was a good one, as the cottage
now boasts some of the best lake views to be had anywhere on the
property.
Outlet is a
two-story building, with living room, kitchen, four bedrooms, and three
baths. The first floor has two bedrooms, one with two doubles and one
with two twins, and each with its own bath. On the second floor, one
room has two doubles and the other two twins. The second-floor bath is
accessible from the common hallway. Outlet is the only winterized
cottage with two stone fireplaces. One is located in the living room,
and the other is in the first-floor double bedroom.
