These owners needed to replace a very rotten set of stairs that connected the 65' vertical feet between the cottage and the water. The lift made sense, it was not much greater in cost, could be built more quickly, it would last longer, be easier to use than stairs, and integrated beautifully into the existing decking.
The removal of the stairs also exposed a beautiful rock face that had be hidden under the boards.
The ride is spectacular, with a helicopter-like descent to one side of the lower patio.

Another view of the car in the top station from the main deck. A design criterion was minimal visual impact from the main deck. We took this shot before installing the wooden head-frame cover. |
This shot from the main deck gives you a sense of the vertical lift. |
The car sitting in the lower station. The plan is to add a small step that will ease access to the lift and demarcate the landing zone. |

If it were not for the quiet, rock solid, uneventful ride one might mistake this for a carnival ride. |
