I love our cabin. Regardless of the season, it is magical. We live on top of a hill, about 10 minutes outside of town. We can't see any houses from our house and we can ski or snowshoe
from our backyard. It is super cozy in the winter and the view is beautiful. In the summer, the wildflowers are gorgeous and we love having bonfires in the backyard. I won't mention any other season, because we really only have two. Our house has three levels; the top two belong to us and the bottom level is rented out by our neighbors. They have a two year old Golden Retriever, Berkley, who is Gus's best friend.
Below are photos of my first two houses that I lived in in Homer. The first was a tiny red cabin in town, with a great yard. I found it online from Oklahoma and remember finding it strange that the advertisement specified, "has running water." When I moved here I realized that many people live without running water (by choice) and some without electricity. While I have never done this, I have plenty of friends who do, and I have learned to be totally comfortable visiting their outhouses. My next house was also in town. It was constantly under construction, but super cool on the inside, with a patio on the roof. Two of my best friends lived in the two houses next door. This is where I was living when Patrick visited me while he was living in Hong Kong. I loved both places, but our house now is definitely my favorite. Lots more space, inside and out.
