A note from your hosts

The ember is the calmest part of the fire.

Ember is the fire that stays after the flames settle: a warm, unhurried glow that lasts the whole evening. That's the pace of this place. One cabin, one party at a time, a lake that barely moves, and nothing on the schedule but the light changing over the water.

The spaces

Built around the water, warmed from within.

Charred cedar outside, warm oak and linen inside. Every room faces the lake through black-framed glass.

The great room: a double-height wall of glass over the water, wood stove, and low linen sofa in evening lamplight

Amenities

The evening, extended.

Everything outside the glass is part of the stay: steam, firelight, and still water at your own pace.

"We didn't turn the car back on for three days. The fog on the lake in the morning from that bed is worth the whole trip."

★★★★★

"The photos are somehow an undersell. Sauna, cold lake, hot tub, repeat. The kitchen is better stocked than ours at home."

Priya · Portland
★★★★★

"Quietest place we've ever stayed. You get the whole shoreline to yourself; we saw more herons than people."

The great room of the cabin, kept by hosts Mara and Del

Kept by Mara & Del.

We built Ember to be the place we couldn't find: architectural but warm, remote but reachable, and never shared with strangers. We live ten minutes up the road, close enough to help and far enough that the lake stays yours.
