Unbelievable "Storybook" Cottage - Page 2

That was really fun to watch. It reminds me of an Inn we used to stay at.

I was wondering who built the house. If they said, I missed it. It is really an incredible and imaginative feat of architecture, using everything organic.

Then I started wondering. Jeez what does this couple do for $? Did they get an inheritance or something. Or how far does he and/or she travel for work.

I think because they spoke so slow my mind started wondering with all these questions!

"If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew. Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? can you paint with all the colors of the wind?"

Honey, I don't know. Several millions for all of that handwork, the fact that it is a "one of a kind" and the land.

I would certainly take one of those smaller rooms and make a closet!

Those 4 children must be very good at picking up after themselves. Those surroundings could liik like a mess with one thing out of place!!!

It's not creepy to me. I could live there.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

Interesting. It definitely gives me a fairy tale vibe. I don't think it's creepy. It's just not my style.

There is a smaller, but similar style cottage, in my city. It's on a fairly heavily traveled 2 lane curving road. Everyone calls it the "Snow White & the 7 Dwarves" cottage. I've only seen the exterior of it as I drive by.

Per Zillow, they paid $605K for it in mid 2020:

3395 SE Hidden Valley Way, Olalla, WA 98359 | MLS #1576557 | Zillow

Gosh, I'd hate to have to replace that roof!

@ECBG Thanks for finding this house. Love it and would really like to see it in person.

Thank you! The entire video, I kept thinking "that roof would be 'murder' to replace"!!!
