We’ve come a long way from the beginning of this project. The first two photos were the beginning of demo where you can see the front bedroom with the arched doorway and then completely gutted.

We took advantage of this rainy day to make headway on the front bedroom! Some wallpaper, and bed assembly made for a productive day. Next—closet door, blinds, curtains, side tables and finishing touches. Stay tuned for more.

We are approved and official! So thankful to all the guidance from the Planning director and assistant fire chief here in Cicero. Truly a great team effort.

I am so happy and thankful to announce that the Cicero BZA has approved the Morse Haven property to be used as a Vacation Rental!

This crazy vision I had over a year ago when I first saw the property is one step closer to becoming reality. We can officially say we are Morse Haven Resort!

Targeting to be open Memorial Weekend.

Thank you to all who have helped get us to this point. It has been quite the experience.

Love to all~

We are in the home stretch in the back house. A few details to finish up this week! Kitchen chairs are being delivered later in the week and more details to finalize but it is clean and so very very close to completion while we wait for the exterior painting and upgrades to be finalized!! Stay tuned!

We have a super level and very sturdy subfloor in with a perfectly clean crawl space completed and have moved to the next area!! Love love love 💕 the guys and their dedication

08/23/2022

Just when I thought demo was done, we decided to take subfloors out to level floor joists for ultimate strength and safety. As a bonus, the crawl space was cleaned out from decades of construction trash! Love the clean slate and quality work being done. Ben Brown
