  Some Things You'll Enjoy at Roadside Marker Lodge

 

  Art by Kathy Newell Worby, in particular a fun piece called "Tweet Your Camel's Nose."  We saw this

  piece in a gallery in downtown Saugatuck, and regretted not purchasing it on the spot!  So the very

next   day, we found the site online, and Kathy was happy to send us a print.  Feel free to browse through

the image gallery and admire her amazing work.

 

The amazing log beds, dressers and tree-stump table are from the fine craftsmen at

 Log Carpenter , 196 State Rd,   Newaygo, Michigan 49337

 

The coffee and end tables in the living room and hallway are from Northern Rustics,

located at 15 West 8th St. Downtown Holland.  You'll find rustic, lodge style furnishings for your home.
