The house at dusk

The place

Inside the horseshoe.

Ivey Lake bends in a horseshoe, and the house stands on the headland inside the bend: five private acres of forest and lawn with a dock of its own. It is built of square-cut, dovetailed Western Red Cedar to a design by architect Ted Murray, and a caretaker lives on the grounds.

Mount Currie and the autumn forest mirrored in the still water of Ivey Lake.

Gatherings

Everyone under one roof.

Family getaways and reunions, retreats and milestone birthdays. The whole house and headland are yours for the length of your stay, and everyone wakes up here.

  1. The Great Hall: leather sofas around a low table, the stone fireplace under a gilt overmantel, a chandelier and tall windows onto the forest.

    Arrive

    The Great Hall is where everyone gathers: a vaulted cedar ceiling, an antler chandelier and the baronial stone fireplace.

  2. A carved king bed made up in white, a cushion embroidered with two hares, and a lamp on the night table.

    The morning after

    Six ensuite bedrooms, so everyone wakes up under the same roof.

  3. The dock's swim ladder over Ivey Lake, with the autumn forest and Mount Currie across the water.

    By the water

    The dock is a short walk across the lawn: coffee at first light, a canoe before breakfast, and Mount Currie across the water.

Not an event venue: a small celebration is considered case by case, and the house is quiet after 10 pm.

Through the year

Every season, the whole house.

Winter fires after a day at Whistler, long evenings on the dock in summer, still water in autumn and the trout season opening in spring.

  1. An Adirondack chair at the end of the dock in autumn, the dark lake and the forest beyond, gold leaves in the foreground.

    Autumn

    The forest around the lake turns gold, and on a calm day the water doubles it.

  2. Drumkeeran House in deep snow at dusk, its windows and porch lit and a garland over the door, among snow-covered firs.

    Winter

    The house under snow with every light on. The lake freezes for weeks at a time, and Whistler Blackcomb is about 45 minutes away.

  3. Snow-covered Mount Currie and the spring forest mirrored in the still, blue water of Ivey Lake.

    Spring

    Snow stays on Mount Currie as the lake opens. Catch-and-release trout season reopens on April 1.

  4. Adirondack chairs on the cedar deck above a bed of red, orange and yellow tulips, with the lawn and Ivey Lake through the trees beyond.

    Summer

    Tulips along the deck, long days on the dock, a canoe and kayaks on the lake, and the hot tub for the evenings.
