Our Summerhouse!

About our Summerhouse... Because our home is so small and doesn't have much room for guests, several years ago we decided to put a tiny "Cabin" , or summerhouse, a little ways away from the main house.
Because it does not have heat or electricity it cannot be used in the winter here.

It is painted red with a roof shaped like a little barn and has a sleeping loft upstairs with two wooden beds and a rollaway bed.

When our grandchildren come from the West coast once in awhile for a summer visit or when we have other guests, they can choose to sleep in the summerhouse or listen to music there (extension cord plugged into the main house!) or paint, put together puzzles, read, etc. there or just relax.
It's like camping...but the beds are comfortable! : )

There are wooden steps going uphill between the trees to the little house and when you are upstairs, it looks like you are in the treetops...just like a treehouse!

I sometimes go there to sit and hook although our home is situated where we have peace and quiet in our main house also. I know I have a picture somewhere but can't find it now...I'll post one when I find it!!! LOL
