Maison au bord du lac avec bain à remous, sauna et kayaks

Some places let you exhale the minute you arrive. Alpine Oasis is one of them.



Heat, cold, quiet, repeat. Step out of the outdoor barrel sauna into the crisp lake air, then sink into your private hot tub as the trees around Lake Alpine turn gold and red. Back inside, the gas fireplace is on, the hanging swing is calling, and there's a mug waiting at the coffee, tea and hot chocolate bar. Evenings end on the fire pit swings, firewood included, with the stars coming out over the water.



It's a quiet, 50-acre no-wake lake just outside Wautoma, with your private shoreline only a few steps from the door. Come as a couple for an anniversary or a long-overdue reset, or bring a few friends for a wellness weekend. Bring your dog, too: a bed, toys and treats will be waiting.



When you do want to go out, classic supper clubs like Moose Inn and Silvercryst and local coffee shops are close by. And in winter, the sauna and hot tub run all season, with Nordic Mountain about 10 minutes away.
