Boot Lake, MN · Warm wood interiors and a wooded waterfront setting give this retreat its character.
The project
Woodland outside. Warmth within.
Birchwood Lodge is framed by mature trees, a welcoming front porch and a tall, glazed lakeside gable. Inside, wood-lined ceilings and warm cabinetry carry that woodland character through the rooms, while broad windows draw natural light into the heart of the home.
The vaulted living room gathers around a freestanding stove, with a loft overlooking the space below. A screened porch offers another way to enjoy the setting, and stone paths connect the entrance, gardens and waterfront. The gallery follows those relationships from close interior details to views above the wooded property.
