Loon's Nest

Built as a resting place between cabin and shore, this standalone screen shelter provides refuge from the sun, passing rain showers, and bugs. The shelter also acts as a platform to view the small island where loons nest each summer.

The owner’s 1920’s era log cabin is situated high on the hillside above. From there, a shady, wooded path runs down through tall pines, past Loon’s Nest, and to the lake’s edge. Modest materials, and a simple roofline harmonize with the forest edge and help the structure nestle unassumingly into its shoreline setting.
