We really like your place. We are planning a 16x18 summer home and need a small stove for cold mountain nights. Your stove appears to be the right size in your photos. Can you tell me what make/model it is and how you like it?

Thanks, Michael…

For those thinking of building something like your cabin, I suggest making the bathroom entrance a bit wider–a 36" opening at least–with room for wheelchair access. That way, should this become a retirement home or some sort of accident happen that restricts mobility, it would still be accessible. Going to a vertical washer/dryer stack would give the extra inches required with no other modifications, it appears–although I would also reverse the positions of the toilet and medicine cabinet for the same reason. Another alternative might be a shower with flat roll-in floor in place of the tub as an alternative.
If the cabinet below the sink is made easily removable, too, in case of need, a chair could be pulled close enough under it to make that useful as well for the mobility impaired.
Too few houses are created with little regard to this kind of problem, which strikes too many families much too often–and can drive people from homes they love and are otherwise comfortable in all too prematurely.
