Tucked among 2,600 acres of protected wilderness, Mountain Lake is home to all kinds of wildlife, from the birds soaring overhead to the little creatures that quietly move through the forest. And sometimes, the Mountain feels a little more magical than you expected.
Step onto your porch, look out your window, or spend a few minutes near one of our hummingbird feeders and you’ll quickly realize just how much is happening all around you.
Tiny wings whirring, little flashes of color darting through the air, and that unmistakable zoom as they zip past you and back to the feeders.
There’s something wonderfully surreal about sitting on the porch and watching them swirl around you. You can hear them before you see them, and once you do, it’s hard to look away. They hover, dart, swoop and disappear into the trees, only to come buzzing back moments later.
It’s the kind of experience that makes you slow down without even realizing it. Grab a cup of coffee, settle into a rocking chair, and let the Mountain put on its own little show right outside your door.
