Wake up when you're ready. Coffee first, then wherever the morning takes you.
Some guests head out: the trails, the bay, the beach, the charters. Others stay to enjoy the amenities on site.
Fish the pond. Take the rowboat out. Swim in the afternoon. Cook outside. Let the day move at its own pace.
When the light starts to change, get the fire going. Heat the sauna. Eat outside.
By the time you cross the boardwalk for the night, you'll have earned the quiet.
