I am a high school ESL teacher and my husband, Obadiah, is a sound designer/composer. We bought this house when we were living in Manhattan, before we had kids. We were desperate to have some private outdoor space of our own. It was originally a hunting cabin but was added onto before we bought it. When we bought it, the additions were only about halfway finished. We spent seven years working on it, finishing it to our taste. We started renting it out in 2009 and, as corny as this sounds, really enjoy sharing our house with so many appreciative guests. It’s a special place for us, and many people have told us that it is that for them as well. We love that!
