Introducing The Camp at The Ridge
Designed and Built by Bobby McAlpine...
My adult life has been grounded by the sanctuary of the lake with a little pang of regret I did not grow up here. But in my mind I fall more and more regularly in its embrace. With what kind of gentleness and respect would you greet this benevolent host? My love of the modesty and quietude of all the old places hiding mute in the shadows never fades. It is teaching me. Perfect witnesses, these old cabins, all alike, all hushed in the presence of the larger beauty are somehow all knowing.
"The Camp at The Ridge" is born to tend these lessons. Ten sites on two peninsulas will come together in harmony, barely visible, muted in the lacy tendrils of the Alabama woods. These cabins will sleep with elegant and liberal hearts. Each with fifty contiguous windows, only at night fall will the continuous bands of light hovering the broad roofs appear mystically staggered through the hilly banks like a family of dragon flies. Evocative of al that has spoken to me all these years at the lake, there is the secretive gift of subtle glamour in almost wall-less living space coupled with reclusive tree house-like sleeping chambers.
