Kaņiera ezers ir viens no putniem bagātākajiem Latvijas ezeriem, tādēļ Lapmežciemā var novērot desmitiem dažādu, tai skaitā, retu putnu. Katru atpūtas māju nosaukta un arī veidota saistībā ar kādu no apkārtnē sastopamajiem putniem.

Jau no 2021. gada aprīļa Baložu ģimenes uzņēmums piedāvā   arī naktsmītnes – 3 labiekārtotas atpūtas mājiņas Lapmežciemā, kur klusā meža ielokā, 600 metrus no jūras patīkami pavadīt laiku ar ģimeni vai draugiem. Mājiņās ir visas labierīcības un virtuvīte, iespēja iznomāt arī kublu un pirti.

Atbraucot Pie Putniem pavasarī, blakus atpūtas mājiņai būs bērzs, no kura tecēs sulas, ar ko veldzēties un attīrīties. Vasarā varēsiet lasīt mellenes, vēlāk izbraukt ar riteņiem pretim krāsainajam rudenim un slēpot vai slidot pa Kaņiera ezeru, ja Latvijā uznāks kārtīga ziema.

Kaislīgiem kalnu slēpotājiem Milzkalns ir 20 minūšu braucienā ar mašīnu. Savukārt putnu vērotājiem būs ko darīt visu cauru gadu, jo pie Kaņiera ezera ir 2 putnu vērošanas torņi.
