Two Weeks at Ox Lake
Loved the lake home! Great 1920's "cottage," decor, and landscaping. Comfortable beds. GORGEOUS kitchen! Lots of room for everyone. The sunroom was our gathering place for meals and cards and other games. The furniture outside offered us an opportunity to watch the sun rise over the lake while enjoying our morning coffee. We had six seniors in our group, so it would have been nice to know that there are 78 steps from the door of the house down to the dock. Although, it did get easier to navigate as the week went on. Also, the toilets are so low for seniors, especially the two of us with new hip replacements, so we brought along a toilet seat extender. Interesting spiral staircase in the middle of the house. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon to a house that had not been cleaned, but we put our "gloves" on, and my niece cleaned both bathrooms and I washed and dried 4 loads of sheets and towels. I think the house needs a good "spring/fall" cleaning, and the housekeeper should be reminded to dust all surfaces. We had a great show by three pileated woodpeckers who were working on a log in the wood pile: my grandnephew said it was such a thrill. It was a lovely two weeks. I have been coming down from Alaska to do these trips with family for the past 15 years and this truly was my favorite "lake home" of all. I feel that there is some interesting history in this home and location. Would love to sit with the owner sometime and hear what stories this house has to tell. Thank You
