The Fern Lodge on Friends Lake, Chestertown, NY

Yesterday I posted pictures from our trip last fall.  I can't NOT post pictures of the wonderful accommodations we enjoyed while there.  We stayed at The Fern Lodge.  

A beautiful home on the lake.

Our spectacular room

fireplace opened to both sides

I can't believe I didn't capture pictures of the beautiful steam shower or screened porch.

I sure hope we get to return to this area some day.  What a very special place.  

Would be fun with friends as well.  Anyone want to go?

Favorite Foto Friday!

I love this picture overlooking Blue Mountain Lake, NY.  It reminds me of our fabulous trip to the Adirondacks last fall.  We spent 4 beautiful days in the mountains - (3 of them were during torrential rains and wind from two hurricanes) but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  We enjoyed the quiet time together.  We experienced nature and limited cell service and zero cable tv.  I kayaked for the first time ever and we hiked and ate simple meals and talked about everything.  We toured battlefields and museums and walked around several lakes.

More favorite nature pictures from that trip.
