I Know A Place, Lake House

I KNOW A PLACE, LAKE HOUSE A man built a two-bedroom tented beach house by Lake Victoria, 8kms from Mbita Town. A private beach. He planted trees, grew grass. It's his home but also home to lots of birds, guinea-fowls, and a cat called Oatmeal. When in bed, he can see distant islands and passing boats. Each night he lights a fire under a large sky. He built it for peace, tranquility, reflection and creating. An escape. He is now sharing it with you, so that you can make it your home too.

Two cottages with thatched roofs and two brick houses with metal roofs are arranged around a grassy area. A vehicle is parked nearby, and trees provide greenery along the pathway leading to the houses. The sky above transitions from daylight to evening.
