A note from your hosts
Vesper is the name for the evening star, the first light that shows over the lake once the sun is gone. We built the cabin to watch it from: two charred-cedar gables, a wall of glass, and nothing between you and the water but the deck.
One booking at a time, so the dock, the sauna and the quiet are only ever yours. We live twenty minutes down the valley and we're one message away.

The spaces
Five rooms for one slow evening.
Everything inside is low, warm and quiet: linen, oak, soapstone and charred cedar, with the lake in every room that matters.
The kitchen
Matte-black cabinetry, a honed soapstone island and a window that frames the pines. The kettle is always close.
Soapstone island · Seats three
The primary suite
A low linen bed pushed right up to the glass. Wake to fog lifting off the lake at first light.
King bed · Lakefront
The soaking bath
A carved stone tub beside a forest window. One candle, the sound of rain, nowhere to be.

The reading nook
A built-in window seat between the bookshelves, a wool throw and a stack of books for grey afternoons.

Outside, the evening keeps going.
A cedar hot tub on the deck, a sauna that's warm by dusk, and your own dock on still water.
Hot tub & sauna
A cedar hot tub steaming on the deck and a wood-fired sauna a few steps away. Fog rolls in; you stay put.
The fire pit
Two chairs, a wool blanket and a fire on the point while the mountains fade to blue.
Dock & canoe
A private cedar dock with a canoe and paddles. The water is stillest just after dawn.

Reviews
4.9Average rating from 214 stays
“We came for the hot tub and stayed for the fog. Watching the lake disappear and come back every morning from that bed is something we'll talk about for years.”
“The kitchen is better stocked than ours at home, and the note about the ridge trail was gold. We barely left the deck.”
“Quiet in a way the city never is. Canoe at dawn, sauna at dusk, a book by the stove in between.”
“Thoughtful down to the matches by the candles. Del answered every question within minutes, and we've already booked our return.”
