Located in Lackawaxen, PA, this 8,300 sqft home is the embodiment of the traditional mountain camps of the region. The structure is constructed of natural local stone, hand split shakes, and twisted brick. Accented by locally formed and mined slate slabs, the home’s cantilevered bays, gables and dormers, as well as the deep eaves supported by profiled rafter tails, are all part of what makes this such an exceptional residence.

The detailing of elements such as paneling, beams, floors, and ceilings come alive in richly finished white oak, fir, cherry, sycamore, cypress, and Spanish cedar. The timber framed ceiling in the great room contains open vistas to the adjacent rooms and stair hall. The massive fireplace is repeated in the lounge and media room below in the stone foundation. Porches, raised terraces, and the interiors of the glazed bays and dormers take the observer beyond the warm and enclosing envelope of the lodge into the natural setting. Geothermal wells fuel the domestic hot water, cooling, and heating of the combined radiant and forced air system.
