At the end of the cobblestone way, the beach sand feels surprisingly warm as if retaining the heat of the day. Waves break soothingly against the beach, and the faint smell of the lotus tickles the senses. A full harvest moon bathes the lodge and lake in gentle light, fully bright enough to read by.
A gazebo made of living trees, grown with interlocking branches acts as an
entryway into a grassy area.
