This is how it all started. When we bought our property in 2003, we had no intention of building a house, we just wanted a place to go camping on the weekends during the summer. The 5 acres was completely wooded and isolated and we had no electricity and no plumbing. We would drive up in total darkness on a friday night and light candles and hope that mice had not taken over the cabin. We bought the property and there was a very small clearing and we ordered a building built out of Pennsylvania and they literally dropped it on a gravel pad on the property and that was that. I think of those days as magical. Candlelight, campfires, outdoor solar heated showers, skunks, mice, hammocks, bicycles and no stress over gardens and water supplies and although I love our house and gardens - this image brings back such great memories. This cabin now anchors our garden and is a guest house during the summer. The kids are going to be sharing this space for July 4th week this year and it should be a lot of fun.
