Boasting an Olympic-sized pool, a lavish presidential suite, and signature restaurant The Refectory, which promises to boost the local culinary scene to new heights, the Brigitte Dumont de Chassart-designed lakeside retreat marries modern luxury with the timeless setting of the lake, best known for its stilted wooden homes, floating vegetable gardens and dexterous anglers, who propel their boats across the water with a single, one-legged rowing stroke.
