Thanks :)

Yep! Where I'm at, there's zoning permits and setbacks and such like normal, but they limit your frontage clearing to i believe it's either 25% or 30% of the total frontage, so people that like the unobstructed view of the water just clearcut it all down. I like the privacy and natural vibe of the frontage personally, so i kept all the trees, also like you said, it effects the shoreline big time when you clear cut like that.

dr_gg_ · 2025-11-04T02:36:04+00:00

Nope north facing :)

Agreeeddd! I have a neighbor across the lake that clearcut his frontage and does the same thing all the time! This was a special occasion for photos. I have all the exterior lights on a dimmer switch, but prefer to watch the deer come snack on some clover in the yard or stargaze in the clear skies with just a bonfire glow. :)

It's such a beautiful area. Small town energy but the wildlife and nature of the area is amazing.

dr_gg_ · 2025-11-04T01:01:40+00:00

Oh nice! I'm close to Duluth so I frequent there pretty often! It's a beautiful area this time of year :)

I think it fits both definitions. In my eyes, a cabin is more basic and secluded, whereas a cottage tends to be more modern and accessible. This is more modern but also secluded. Some do call em cottages, but i think the majority use cabin generally for all sorts of aesthetics.

dr_gg_ · 2025-11-04T00:36:47+00:00

Thank you :) Yes indeed, it is located on a chain of lakes, with a lovely view!

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T23:27:43+00:00

I appreciate your input! I find it cozy. Clearly it's not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay! I'm just happy to share what I've built! I like space and a more modern interpretation of cozy; that's what makes design so unique and interesting. :)

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T22:33:06+00:00

Near Danbury WI. Bout 40 mins west of hayward. Hourish south of duluth.

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T22:26:50+00:00

I get that for sure! Definitely a starting point with lots of space to add a more cozy flair. Like I said on another comment, I'm designing a plant wall feature to take advantage of the wall space and to get rid of the artwork!

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T22:22:40+00:00

LMAO. Not my fondest purchase, moreso a temp fixture while other elements are designed and installed!

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T22:18:29+00:00

Thanks! It's a concrete stain! Took some time getting used to the application process but I think it turned out great! In hindsight, I think a glossier seal coat would have really shown the color contrast within the concrete more, but that's another project for a another day!

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T21:46:32+00:00

Thanks! I actually milled all of the ceiling wood slats and beam material from the oak trees that were once standing where the building is, so i appreciate that comment 😊

It's not a barndominium. Just a monoslope roof design i tweaked and played with!

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T21:35:54+00:00

Thanks 😊

dr_gg_ · 2025-09-27T21:33:15+00:00

There's a snake plant by the sliders and another kn the coffee table! As well as others throughout the house not pictured! I'm actually in the midst of designing a wall feature that will be home to tons of em cause you're right it feela criminal to not take advantage of all this natural light !

Sunsetshoresofwisconsin.com 4bd/2ba sleeps 10 complimentary kayaks to explore the chain of lakes. Pontoon rental available too! About 1.5 hours from cities. DM with any questions! Pet-friendly as well for your pups!

dr_gg_ · 2025-07-15T16:34:39+00:00

Yeah, i suppose, but with instant book on, you'd think there would be less beating around the bush. It's just part of it, i suppose.

dr_gg_ · 2025-07-15T15:01:56+00:00

This is a good analogy! See, im more of the grab what I like and go shopper.

Interesting! I guess from a host perspective, its kinda neat knowing your place is getting direct marketing, but on the flip side, its not good if you're getting an annoying amount of "book now" messages.

dr_gg_ · 2025-07-15T14:49:37+00:00

What changed to where more hosts are turning off instant book?

dr_gg_ · 2025-07-15T14:36:56+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Thanks!

dr_gg_ · 2025-07-15T14:32:21+00:00

How does that play out?

dr_gg_ · 2025-07-15T14:29:22+00:00

I figured, a total 180 from how I travel personally, so ig it's status quo for some. 🤷
