Built in 1904, Sans Souci—French for “without worry”—was originally used by Douglas Volk as his personal studio. Perched on a bluff at the northern edge of the upper lawn, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage offers a peaceful retreat just a short walk from the main lodge. While partially framed by tree growth, it still commands one of the clearest views of the lake below and the mountains beyond.
In 1938, Sans Souci was expanded with an additional wing and converted into a private summer cottage, blending its artistic origins with the comforts of a seasonal retreat.
One of its most striking features is the massive fieldstone fireplace, which serves as both a functional centerpiece and a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.
The main living area is bright and spacious, featuring large windows and an operable garage door that seamlessly connects the indoors with the surrounding landscape.
This airy, light-filled space makes Sans Souci an inspiring setting for artistic work, quiet contemplation, or simply unwinding in nature.
