The corn 🌽 in the fields around Crooked Elm has been successfully harvested. Farmer Brent reports that it was a fantastic year thanks to the recent addition of some much needed irrigation. It sure does change the landscape having the corn gone.

Two years ago tomorrow, on Juergen’s birthday, we officially listed Crooked Elm for a short term rental option after more than a year of extensive renovations. Our very first clients stayed over Labor Day weekend and we were never more nervous than we were leading up to and during their stay. Since then we’ve welcomed many guests to our little house, each of them raving about the beauty of the property. I wouldn’t change one single thing about the decision to purchase the property and remodel the little house. It has been an incredibly rewarding, fun journey with one of my favorite people who celebrates his 69th birthday tomorrow. I took this picture this evening as we were preparing for returning guests to arrive tomorrow afternoon. There’s always something beautiful to see at Crooked Elm. 💕

The old house that preceded Crooked Elm was burnt down to make way for the A-frame. Thanks Alice Jean for sharing this piece of history.

The property is still a work in progress. We needed something around the perimeter of the house so we decided on the same stone as the driveway. I think it turned out pretty good. One side done ✅ .

One year ago today our very first guests checked into Crooked Elm. Since then we’ve hosted approximately 20 groups of guests. We’ve learned a lot along the way and continue to make improvements to the house and property. We are looking forward to our future guests as well as enjoying the property ourselves when it’s not being enjoyed by others. Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!

Installing these beautiful pine boards was one of my favorite projects during the remodel because Jürgen and I could do it ourselves. The pine boards were absolutely perfect for the little house.

We dug up some pretty nasty things around the property. Here’s one such item, a stubborn root buried next to the basement wall. It took the Bronco to get this one up.

Sweet notes like these are what makes it all worth it. ❤️

Productive day at Crooked Elm!

Throwback: The day after we settled on the property we got right to work on cleaning and fixing it up. I still chuckle when I think about how naive we were at the time. I’m still amazed that we pulled it off.
