Couples seeking stolen moments in a beautiful setting – this lakeside lodge is what you're looking for. The secluded home sits on an island overlooking Carp Lake, with a private deck where you can relax and tune into the soothing sounds of local wildlife – birds chirping overhead, squirrels scurrying through the surrounding woodland. Inside, a cosy haven awaits. Enjoy uninterrupted vistas of the still water as you curl up in front of the wood-burning stove. The design is modern yet homely, with plush seating and a colourful medley of soft furnishings. Tucked beneath the timber A-frame ceiling, a mezzanine bedroom appears to float thanks to its glass surround. Sink into peaceful slumbers here, and awake to the sun streaming in through the vast windows. This is the place for nature lovers. Explore the enchanting pathways in the area and see how many bird species you can spot. If you lean towards more active pastimes, there are opportunities for kayaking, waterskiing and paddle boarding on a neighbouring lake, and you'll find multiple adventure parks within a twenty-minute car journey.
