Cottage and Pond

Does anyone recognize this cottage? Anyone?

You'd think there would be a better picture to find somewhere here, but the shoreline is extremely limited and the trees are overgrown on both sides of the pond and these were the best two shots I could find.

Oh, and sorry about the duck. :roll:

Is that from Fantasy Island? "Da Plaaaane Da Plaaaane"

Give that man a cigar!!!
You got it, Sheepie! :lol:

This is from the Arboretum's website:
"Johnny Weissmuller swam in LASCA Lagoon/Baldwin Lake for three decades as Tarzan and later Jungle Jim. A local news story reported that he, in fact, set an unrecorded Olympic swim record when a cage of crocodiles was accidentally opened during filming (Weissmuller beat the crocs to the lake shore). Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour took up a month-long watery Baldwin Lake residence in homes on stilts for the filming of Road to Singapore in 1939, the same year the Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.,/Madeleine Carroll film Safari managed to sink a paddlewheel boat in the same lake. Undaunted, television's original "Fantasy Island" lowered a pontoon plane by helicopter onto Baldwin Lake and propelled it across the water to disembark visitors to Mr. Roark's island paradise. For Alex Haley's "Roots II", Baldwin Lake became Kunta Kinte's river home in Africa;"
