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.
