There is considerable develope-

been opened up. It is a magnificent
log structure overlooking the lake.
Three large stone fireplaces have
been constructed, one in the lounge
another in the dining-room and a
third in the ladies’ lounge on the
second floor. The lounge is a spac
ious room with rafters and interior
of polished logs. The front porch,
