The Garage was converted with lumber milled on-site, a reclaimed kitchen, reclaimed bricks, and doors, et al in 2021.
The Tower is a 24 foot tall 12’ x 12’ structure built from Fall 2023 - Fall 2024 on the foundation of an old shed, primarily using lumber milled and planed at Camp David. The structure was designed with locally sourced, sustainable materials in mind, notably featuring 4 barn doors reclaimed from an older structure on the property, prior to its demolition.
The Tower features a kitchenette, bathroom [with connected outdoor shower], Wi-Fi, and wonderful views of the mountains to the northeast.
If neither The Garage nor the Tower is available, additional bedrooms are available in the main house.
