Phil helped his dad build a little place in Highlands almost 50 years ago. As one of his brothers was helping build the place, he said about the steep landscape, "It's hard to get a good toe holt up here." The cabin was named Toe Holt and was enjoyed by Phil's mom, dad, brothers and their families for many years. Phil and I even honeymooned at Toe Holt. The brothers sold Toe Holt to a niece a few years back.
Phil and I decided we wanted another place in that same little community as Toe Holt. The cottage we just bought is only five or so doors down from Toe Holt. In fact, Phil's mom and the last owner of our place often visited each other and took long walks together when in Highlands. So when our nephew referred to our place as Two Holt, we knew he had tagged our little place with a name that explains it all...it pulls in our connection to Highlands and to the Mirror Lake community. So when you visit and go to sign the guest book, just smile and cross out "Thistle Dew" and write Two Holt instead. Now you know why!
