This lakeside cabin sits along a steep hillside, with the approach and entry along the private, wooded upper backside of the property. This site characteristic gives an opportunity to enter the upper main living areas from above, and once inside, opens elevated views outward, through the trees and towards the lake. The lower level spaces have an intimate and private relationship with the wooded surroundings. The layout is a simple linear plan, aligning rooms based on their need for privacy and views.
