The dairy on the hill

For sixty years the Abernathy family milked cows on this hillside and fished off the same dock every Sunday afternoon. When they decided to sell, they turned down a marina developer and a subdivision. They wanted a place their friends could grow old.

2008: Cottages, a boathouse and a warm pool

The first residents moved into twelve lake cottages and ate their meals in the boathouse, which had a kitchen, a porch and not much else. A retired swim coach on the founding board insisted on a warm-water pool, and she was right.

Building up the hill

The apartment buildings opened in 2012 and 2017, set into the slope so nearly every balcony faces the water. The pontoon boat started running that first summer, and residents with boats of their own got covered slips at the dock.
