About the host
Hosted by Diane Spence
Son, Brother, Uncle and Father who was blessed by these mountains and the family that lives nearby. No matter how far I go in life, I come back here to keep myself and my family humble and grounded. I learned much about the important things in life here. Hard work, determination and humility to name a few.
Why they chose this property
Although this lot was formerly owned by my Uncle for 15 years prior, I bought it from him due to the sentimental value of the A frame that sits on it. You see, it was the last project that my father and his brother worked on before he was tragically killed in a motorcycle in 2009. They put a lot of sweat equity into organizing and building the A frame that future generations of family could enjoy a little escape out into the woods.
In 2021, I had it completely renovated to include power (all solar), water/plumbing, A/C, modern kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and a walk out deck coming off the loft. My Father would have been proud that we kept the A frame going, but now opened it up for others to enjoy and get-away.
