The Nettly Wood inglenook is a small, intimate space in an expansive Decatur Island retreat.

Located within the main house, the largest of the buildings, the inglenook is tucked away off the building’s main hall across from the dining room, providing a respite from surrounding activity.

Clad with stone, and focused around a fireplace, the inglenook provides a place to curl up with a book, gather with family and friends or enjoy a nap. The interior and exterior of the inglenook, including the chimney, are clad in Montana ledge stone and rubble with careful detail used to maintain the natural character of the stone.

The Nettly Wood picnic pavilion is a heavy timber and stone masonry structure that provides a gathering place. The heavy timber structure and stone masonry fireplace were designed to evoke historical National Park structures.

A large stone fireplace anchors the pavilion. The scale of the fireplace’s stone structure and the detailing of the stone work were designed to complement both the heavy timber structure and the natural beauty of the pavilion’s surroundings.
