In South Carolina, Keith Summerour’s masterful design of a hunting lodge epitomizes his signature approach, crafting homes that seamlessly blend with their surroundings and cater to his clients’ lifestyles. This lodge is the perfect lakeside retreat for family and friends!
Summerhour’s expertise in harmonizing architecture with the natural environment is evident in this exquisite lodge
Here, the tranquility of the woods melds with the rustic elegance of the lodge’s design, setting the stage for a space that encapsulates both comfort and adventure.
Every aspect of the lodge has been meticulously considered, reflecting Summerhour’s dedication to personalized design.
Teaming up with interior designer Melanie Milner of the esteemed Design Atelier, the lodge’s interiors are a testament to meticulous attention to detail. The interior design exudes a rustic yet refined charm, embracing the lodge’s natural surroundings while offering every modern comfort. With Milner’s expertise, the lodge boasts a perfect balance of functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring there’s a designated space for everything, from cozy reading nooks to well-appointed dining areas and comfortable relaxation spots.
Milner’s touch is unmistakable, incorporating rich details that echo the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Cypress wood, carefully selected for its natural beauty and durability, is a central element used throughout the lodge.
Its warm tones and distinct grains infuse the space with a sense of earthy luxury, creating an inviting atmosphere.
The bunk room is a lively sanctuary within the family lodge, designed to inspire adventure and camaraderie among the younger guests. Adorned with cozy, custom-built bunk beds, it’s a space where imaginations run wild and lasting friendships are forged.
Equipped with all the amenities for comfort and play, these bunk rooms are the perfect hub for storytelling, laughter-filled sleepovers, and the start of unforgettable memories.
The weathered, repurposed wood countertop brings a sense of history and character, creating a unique focal point to the bathroom. Paired with fixtures and sink, the countertop not only offers a sustainable design element but also infuses the room with warmth and an inviting ambiance, providing a perfect balance between eco-conscious style and contemporary comfort.
Every corner of the lodge is adorned with carefully chosen elements, from handcrafted furniture that exudes character to thoughtfully curated décor that adds a touch of sophistication.
The fusion of Summerhour’s architectural vision and Milner’s interior design expertise results in a space that not only meets the needs of avid hunters but also appeals to those seeking a luxurious retreat in the heart of nature.
The lakeside retreat stands as a testament to their collaborative artistry,
offering a haven where nature seamlessly intertwines with the comforts of home.
The back porch swing gently sways as it overlooks the serene expanse of the lake, inviting moments of peaceful reflection amidst the beauty of nature.
Wishing you a Wednesday equally as serene!

MORE ABOUT THE SUMMER OF SONGBIRD
Four women come together to save the summer camp that changed their lives and rediscover themselves in the process in this heartwarming new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Veil.
Nearly thirty years ago, in the wake of a personal tragedy, June Moore bought Camp Holly Springs and turned it into a thriving summer haven for girls. But now, June is in danger of losing the place she has sacrificed everything for—and begins to realize how much she has used the camp to avoid facing difficulties in her life.
June’s niece, Daphne, met her two best friends, Lanier Bradley and Mary Stuart Harris, during a fateful summer at camp, and the three are inseparable even in their thirties. But when attorney Daphne discovers that Lanier’s fiancé—who just so happens to be her client—has done something highly illegal, she must choose between her job and her friendship.
Meanwhile, Lanier is hiding secrets both new and old that might make Daphne see the situation in an entirely different light. When one of those secrets unexpectedly rises to the surface, it threatens to change the very fabric of their friendship.
But when the women learn that their childhood oasis is in danger of closing, they put aside their own problems and band together with June to save it, sending them on a journey that promises to open the next chapters in their lives.
From an author whose “writing coats your soul with heart” (E! Online), The Summer of Songbirds is a lyrical and unforgettable celebration of female friendship, and a love letter to the places and people that make us who we are.
