Ask a questionAbout Sharlene Ketrenos
The Spirit of Curlew Lake is my canvas on which i have painted with passion for over a decade. The home is welcoming, peaceful and easy for all to find comfort. Its a constant in my life and grounding for me, yet also a work in progress, as we always strive to improve the guest experience. I studied the arts in college and brought all that I learned back to my hometown, Curlew, where I graduated high school and made lifelong friends. This place is special. Glad I can share it with you.
Sharlene Ketrenos purchased this House in 2001
Why Sharlene Ketrenos chose Republic
I designed and built the Spirit of Curlew Lake (with help from some wonderful people). It was a risky thing to do, at the time the largest home in the county, but it brought more investment to this far flung community and boosted tourism in the poorest county in the state.
What makes this House unique
The home has a spiritual quality hard to describe but discovered by all who come here. The views through 72 windows are spectacular. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking and the wildlife is a constant source of wonder and the 4 acres provide privacy and room to roam. Lake views are revealed from most of the 72 windows of the house. The home sits on a 4 acre parcel, with lots of tall yellow pine and more. The surrounding scenery is both rugged rocky peaks and crystal clear lake. One of our favorite things here is the Kiva, a fire pit I designed out of locally mined rock, excavated so my guests can enjoy the warmth of a fire with a gathering of friends and family, yet be out of the whistling wind. We have a horse-shoe pit, a Volleyball court, a small but growing apple orchard and then so much more for recreation, including the five kayaks, bikes, fishing gear, infra-red LP grill, snow shoes if you come in the winter, a tobogan for sledding and more. We really enjoy the incredible display of stars at night and the natural sights in the daylight. The wildlife is always present in this area, parading right by our windows are deer, eagles, geese, turkey, owls and more.
