And so that's how this one's built.
Basically half the house was sort of jutting off the mountain with big stilts and a big wraparound porch that went around the outside.
And then sort of like a section of the house was sort of burrowed into the mountain.
And when you drive up this mountain, you'd turn onto a little access road and you'd be approaching the house sort of looking at it from a profile view.
You'd see on the left side is the stilted side and the right side is the side buried in the mountain.
The door is right in front of you as you pull up to it.
The door to get into the cabin, you actually have to step onto the wraparound porch and take a few steps.
And then there's a door that leads directly into the side of the cabin.
And once you step inside, you're standing
quite literally between the kitchen on your right where there's linoleum under your right foot and on your left is this shag carpet where the dining room is.
So you step in and you're straddling these two rooms.
There's also sleigh bells that they kept on the door.
So anytime you opened it, you could always hear it opening.
And so you walk into the cabin and there's just like one big open room.
It's called an open floor plan.
It's a very small cabin.
So kitchen over here, dining room here with a table in it.
And if you just kept walking straight towards the back of this cabin, again, not very big, you'd enter the living room.
There's no wall demarcating it.
You just sort of get to a couch with a TV on the back of the cabin.
