From 81 North: Exit 211 (Lenox) - NOT LENOXVILLE. Turn left off the ramp. Go to the blinking light and take a right on to 92. You will see a Pump & Pantry there - you may want to get gas if you are running low. Follow 92 until Gelatt. On the right hand side you will see American Car Care Center/Burman's Collision Center. (There is about 15 minutes of driving from 81 to this turn. Before the turn, you will see Gibson Grange on the left)
Take the right immediately after the Collision Center - it has a blue tin roof. Follow that road for about 1/4 mile and take the first right on to the first paved road. You will see a sign that says Fiddle Lake 2 miles. (It's actually more than two miles though I think.)
Follow this road all the way up the long hill. When you reach the top, there is a fork in the road. Stay to the left/straight. Keep going a little ways and you will see the lake cottages on the right. Continue past the lake and pass East Shore Drive dirt road on the right. We are the next farm on the left. There's a sign down by the road and the house is set back.
You may park in the carport and come to the front door.
