The kitchen is the heart of the home in this lake retreat. A family of four spends their summers here enjoying lake activities and time with family. The kitchen is open to the dining and living rooms so the homeowners can enjoy spending time with the kids while preparing food in the kitchen. Expansive windows on the west, south and north walls provide inspiring daytime views as well as ample ventilation. The primary view over the lake showcases the spectacular mountain sunsets. Quiet colors and natural wood finishes on the wall integrate harmoniously with the surrounding Appalachian mountain setting.
