The Details

What makes it Kobu

The Lake House mission is to create the most welcoming experience possible for their guests, while living in responsible harmony with our environment. Those initiatives include relying on geothermal power, reducing reliance on single-use plastics (keep an eye out for the water bottle refilling stations!), sourcing compostable and locally produced products, and applying green housekeeping practices to reduce water and energy usage.

Artists are at the heart of the team behind The Lake House. Carved four-poster beds and sculptural installations by artist-in-residence Fitzhugh Karol are just a few examples of The Lake House’s commitment to highlighting art and the artists who create it throughout this space. Keep an eye out for unexpected pops of color, handmade pieces made for space, and sculpture installations tucked among the natural landscape. Additionally, a curated selection of works by a select group of artists are placed throughout the property.
