Take Me To The Lake | Gozzer Ranch, Idaho
When your project name is Take Me To The Lake, you know it’s going to be something special. Hidden in the heart of Gozzer Ranch, Idaho, this home was designed as a retreat that celebrates togetherness, play, and a touch of North Idaho’s iconic lake life.
A Gathering Place With Purpose
Every corner of this home was created with community in mind. At the heart of the entertainment area sits a custom poker table, designed to be more than a surface for cards. It was not just a piece - It was a statement. Surrounding it are furry chairs that combine comfort with a touch of playful luxury, making game nights an event in themselves.
Down the hall, the bunk room became one of the most beloved parts of the project. We designed custom bunk beds that are equally practical and beautiful - sturdy enough for both kids and adults while carrying a timeless, tailored aesthetic. This isn’t a typical bunk room - It’s a retreat within a retreat.
To anchor the space, we layered in a super cozy fluffy rug that grounds the room and invites everyone to kick off their shoes. This soft element not only adds warmth but also creates a visual contrast against the more structured furniture - balancing formality with comfort.
Comfort in Every Detail
For the main living areas, we leaned into luxury boucle chairs and a matching couch - pieces chosen for their texture, durability, and sophistication. Boucle fabric brings a tactile richness that feels elevated while staying approachable. These pieces became the anchors of the living room, setting the tone for casual mornings by the fire and long evenings with friends.
We paired these with natural tones and layered finishes that echo the nearby lakefront. Woods, soft textiles, and curated accessories created a seamless blend of comfort and polish. Nothing was accidental - Every material choice, from the rug beneath your feet to the lighting above, was intentional. This is what lake house interior design is all about - effortless beauty that feels natural yet distinctly refined.
Life Outdoors: A Nod to North Idaho Lake Living
In North Idaho, outdoor living is just as important as what happens indoors. This project extended the same attention to detail to the exterior spaces, making sure the lake lifestyle carried through every corner of the property.
Outdoor Lounging - Deep, cushioned furniture was chosen for afternoons spent by the water or evenings by the fire. These pieces balance durability with high design, ensuring they can weather the seasons while remaining comfortable.
Mini Fireplaces - Multiple fireplaces were installed in outdoor gathering spots, creating cozy corners where guests can roast marshmallows, sip wine, or simply enjoy the stars.
Lake-Inspired Details - Subtle textures reminiscent of driftwood, lake stones, and organic fabrics tie the interiors to their environment. These touches root the home in its setting without overwhelming it.
The result is an outdoor environment that feels like a natural extension of the interiors. Whether it’s summer evenings or crisp fall mornings, the home is designed to celebrate every season of lakefront life.
Why Materials Matter
One of the most striking aspects of this project is the way materials shape the experience. Lakefront design calls for finishes that are both resilient and beautiful - able to withstand busy family weekends while maintaining a polished look.
Custom Woodwork adds warmth and structure, reminding visitors of North Idaho’s natural beauty.
Soft Upholstery balances the harder architectural lines, offering tactile comfort.
Stone Details echo the lake’s rugged shoreline, grounding the home in its environment.
This careful balance ensures that while the home feels luxurious, it never loses its connection to nature.
A Lifestyle Story
At its core, Take Me To The Lake is not just about furniture or finishes. It’s about designing a lifestyle. It’s about creating spaces where laughter can echo from a bunk room full of cousins, where the clinking of glasses around a poker table becomes tradition, and where the glow of an outdoor fire pit frames stories that last long after the night ends.
This home was crafted to host - to welcome, to gather, and to celebrate. It’s a space designed to be lived in fully, not just admired. That balance of sophistication and warmth is what makes this Gozzer Ranch project stand out as a true example of luxury lakefront interior design.
