I NS I D E OU T: The mid-level pavilion, built in 2018, features exposed timber framing and a wood burning stove for year round comfort. “It was our savior during COVID because it gave us an opportunity to see friends, stay warm, be outside and still have that social interaction.” When the Cleveland Browns were teasing a playoff run last winter, Damion and a friend devised detachable walls in six panels made of wood paneling with double hung windows and a full-sized door to enclose the space for four seasons. With the wood-burning stove ablaze and the walls in place, Damion says it’s as cozy as an indoor living room, regardless of Ohio’s capricious weather. T OP CH E F : Amanda gifted Damion a Blackstone 36-inch flattop grill for the mid-level pavilion, on which he makes everything from breakfast omelets to smash burgers. “I like being able to cook — completely covered — in the rain or snow,” Damion says. “That’s

my favorite thing.” Amanda’s favorite

part? Being away from passersby and simply enjoying a view of the East Reservoir.
