What a world. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Two years ago, we closed the Ellipse pursuant to a change in need for family housing. So much has changed and we are now back open for select events.

We already have booked IU Graduation weekend and have opened our Airbnb listing for home football weekends.

Sorry, Labor Day weekend is already booked, too! Just that fast. Here are some new photos!

Construction is underway to add a full room to the west end of the porch. We will call it a pantry and it will house a dryer, classic pantry items, and storage space. General Contractor, Glen Salmon, may have it done before the snow flies.

As our season comes to a close this year, we are sharing that The Ellipse will be closing permanently on October 28.

Ellie’s Lake Lemon Idyllic PostalClub Spillway Escape has given is so many new friends and offered a safe and cozy place for so many.

Now our cabin will embrace the family who first lived there as they start a new adventure.

In a few weeks, I will close down this page.

Thank you all for accompanying us on this journey.
