Day 1 of Eagling

Nope I did not hunt eagles if that's what it sounds like. I simply eagled, as in lived on Eagle Island time! The lodge was quite the vision entering and the little tour of the premises with Captain Andy  Hill was a nice added gesture as opposed to checking into a hotel room and having to discover amenities on your own. I was designated the loft space at the very top of the lodge, accessed by a spiral staircase and lovely high window views of both sides of green expanses (Pictures to follow). The downside (or thats what 'they' thought) was no restroom at my level and being somewhat demo-open to noises and light from the rest of the house but quite frankly that didn't seem quite as bad at all once I saw how comfy the space was and how strategically the writing desk was positioned! Writer's dream come true, if you ask me! The wraparound deck has several scenic sit outs including swings, rocking chairs, multiple fireplaces and even a hot tub, which was duly put to use later at night. The main living area has a grand old fire place and couch but with an open floor plan so you can see the kitchen and dining and eat and cook and entertain all simultaneously. Two bedrooms and a bathroom make up the rest of that level. There is wi-fi access all around so don't worry about you r private island getaway making you feel isolated in any way. I am posting this from Eagle Island right now! The lower floor is actually a hidden treasure trove - a big space that has been converted into a bunk bed/bedroom combo that an accommodate 5-6 people. They also have table tennis, TV, game tables, fridge, coffee machine, bathroom and washer/dryer down there. And when you come out you see an open kitchen area for your late night outdoor culinary adventures as well as, wait for it...an outdoor shower! Such a cool idea! It is in an enclosed space but outside of the structure of the house. Words and pictures can only describe so much so I suggest you make a trip here to see what its all about. They also have an outdoor fire place by a pond (which currently houses an alligator we are told is only visiting but was playing around with a raccoon last we saw) and a swing set there so you can do marshmallows by night. Overall, this is a well-established location with facilities that you will enjoy and use. I will have more on my adventures over the next few days.
