Golden Eagle provided the family with a selection booklet. The booklet contains images of the options for the interior and exterior options the family has in designing their lakehouse. A few decisions were easy for the family to make.

For the walkout, foundation and fireplace, the family chose the Bailey's Harbor field stone option, though the Teelin Bay (also pictured) was a close second.

The family also chose the silver options for the hearthstone. (The Terra option is also pictured below.)


The family was also quick to decide they liked the hand-carved posts by Mayne Workshop Carvings offered by Golden Eagle. They decided to put one raccoon in the loft, one raccoon on the first floor, and a bear in the basement by the bar.




The family also decided they want to work with Mayne Workshop to design a custom mantel.

Golden Eagle's Selection Booklet contains 74 pages of options and the family has only made decisions through page 10. As they make more decisions, they will be posted. Stay tuned.

The family has received the appraisal of their lakehouse and approval from the bank to move forward. Now the family will start working on bids from the construction company to make sure they match the amount financed. On a recommendation from Golden Eagle, the family has contacted Coffen Construction. The family will likely go with Coffen Construction but is waiting to sign any contracts until the initial bids are received.
