I guess some people would find it very boring being so cut off from the world, but we love it. Reading by the fireplace on the screened-in porch is hard to beat. It's a relaxing place. The countryside is undeveloped, consisting mostly of forests and small lakes in all directions. There are lots of wild blueberries to pick when they ripen, in mid-July or so.
Animal life is abundant.
Black bears, deer, beavers, otters, foxes, rabbits, squirrels, and even the occasional bald eagle are seen. Several families of loons make the lake their home and hearing them call in the evening is always enchanting. It's a hoot to watch them run across the surface of the lake as they build up enough speed to finally lift off.
