Paint Creek Cottage received it's first guests...
The evening of April 5th my mom and sister Annica joined us for an over-night and broke in one of the built-in beds while surrounded by tools and wet paint. They were very gracious guests and foreshadowed amazing experiences to come.
Welcome to Paint Creek Cottage
A self-proclaimed "Renaissance Man" and dreamer, who is often prone to OCD, has been indulged by his beautiful, patient wife. She allowed him to have an old farm house in Highland County, Ohio renovated into Paint Creek Cottage.
Paint Creek Cottage is a unique place... it is part home, part b&b, part camp, and part slumber party. It sits on 17 wooded and rolling acres. It is a throw back to times gone by, there is no television, no land line telephone, and no Internet. There is however intimate conversation, delicious food, and great campfires.
Guests of Paint Creek Cottage are asked to invest in the experience by contributing a meal and pitching in on an activity on the project list.

In a way, we are very uncomfortable with being so specific about the list... but then again, who in their right mind would turn down great gifts from those we love?
