    Ep 39: A Guided Audio Tour of Carlton Landing

    Episode 39 is a little different. Instead of sitting down to talk about Carlton Landing, I’m going to invite you to walk through it with me. This is an audio walking tour — a slow, intentional stroll from the entrance of town all the way to the lake — meant to help you feel what it’s actually like to be here. So today, instead of telling you about Carlton Landing, I want to walk you through it — one sidewalk at a time — and see where this path leads. I encourage you to view the map below first before embarking on your audio tour today: https://www.thelodgeontwinklelane.com/files/Carlton-Landing-Map.png Thank you to our sponsor, The Lodge on Twinkle Lane, a 4 bedroom/3.5 bathroom, fragrance free vacation rental home in the heart of Carlton Landing.
