Classic rustic syle lodge on a remote lake in central Oregon. 8 Bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, partial log structure and detailing. This project was created as a family compound on a lake that the family had been visiting for generations. Name originated from initial visit to site when Owner found a bobat sleeping on the deck of the previous building. The property had been owned by a church and the old lodge had burned and been replaced with a temporary structure. With difficult site access across a lake, we kept the foundation and designed this new building to utilize the in-ground investment.
