Wawbeek Inn ... a taste of summer ...

... and a continued love affair... of such a special kind.

I've said it before and will say it again, thank God for memories.  Without memories to draw on and pictures to capture ... the spirit of the Wawbeek would be lost.

But, as my classmate Miles shared, I am bringing it back to "life". It feels good to do that, to share back to the communities that love all the history of the Adirondacks.  We all have some crazy spirit that love lakes and mountains and all things Adirondacky!

 

We love those times where we breath in the laziness of summer.

We love the smell of the cabins, the wool blankets, the camp fires, the moss; and the sound of rain falling on the cabin roof, the crickets and frogs, the loons laughing on the lake, the people .....the mosquitoes  (not so much)!

The signs of the Wawbeek were somehow mystical.  Welcome - check in!  You bet, let me through those doors so that I can get to my room and love everything about it.  The restaurant .... there was nothing like eating meals on the screened in porch.  Tthe staff was wonderful, the food was fabulous ... ahhhhh.... if only to go back.

Look through that glass .. . it is inviting .... beckoning to go explore .. the flowers... the water ...smells and sounds.

 

But then again, sitting in the main lodge and enjoying the books, games and peace .... can you feel it?

Or just wander .....

 

...down to the lakes edge.  Boats  and canoes were part of the deal ...and wonderful high school and college students  to help you prepare for a ride around the lake (boathouse tour may be another blog!).

I hope that now you can sit in an Adirondack chair down by the water, close your eyes and just imagine.  It is wonderful isn't it?
