Not-So-Rustic Retreat: Three Lakes Vacation Home

Originally uploaded to MTS on Oct. 19th, 2011.

Now Updated for the UC/UltimateCollection; and rebuilt with less CC!

Well, Don had been bugging me a loooong time to build him a vacation home. So, I finally built him one. He is one of my main Testers, and as such, he does a lot of work for me. He deserves a nice place to visit and get away from "it all" (me) LOL! 😁

I don't think many people know the real Don Lothario... yea, sure, he thinks he's got every women's secret desire wrapped up in his - uh, his little pinkie. He can't help that though. Most of his acclaimed 'romantical drama' actually comes from Nina and Dina themselves. They are not very, shall we say, discrete. But, no, Don isn't like that; not all the time anyway. He yearns for a quiet family life - with a comfortable cabin in the Catskills and a condo in the City (I think he means penthouse, but he insists on calling it a condo.)

He seemed genuinely flattered when I offered to build his dream cabin for him. At his insistence the guest room has a separate and completely private entrance. (I guess he is thinking about starting a Bed & Breakfast?) He also wanted an inside balcony from the Master Bedroom (on the 2nd floor) to the main entrance below - so he can see who's at the front door from his bedroom. My original design included a full wrap-around deck. Don nixed that and added a private deck off the Master Suite instead. The additional bathroom next to the Hot Spring is his idea too. All in all I think the Rustic Retreat turned out very well. I'm pleased with it, Don's pleased with it, and I hope you will be too. Please leave me a comment and tell me what you think?

This is a sloped/uneven lot, and was built as a Vacation Home in Three Lakes:

You enter directly to the Living room - with Don's Master Suite visible beyond the balcony above. There is a piano, easel, bookshelves, and a TV available.

 

The Kitchen is nice and big - with all the standard appliances.

NOTE: I'm not sure if the chess table works, as it's situated on the diagonal?

Upstairs is a Game room, the Master Suite, and Balcony; outside on the verandah is a grill and outdoor dining area. Under the house is your own private Hot Spring! Please scroll down for more pictures...

You will need Numenor's Unlevel Wall #90
