他に類を見ないレイクハウス-WIデルズ近くの素朴な埋め立ての納屋ハウス

Labor of Love

My name is Robyn Ogden. My husband Dan and I have owned property on Lake Mason for the past 17 years. We have 3 kids that have grown up on Lake Mason and spending wonderful family time there, fishing, boating, floating, sitting by the fire pit, signing karaoke, cooking great food, playing hockey on our ice rink in the winter or just hanging out watching a movie on cold or rainy days.

Our current place on the lake we call “The Barnhouse” It has been a labor of love over the past 14 years or so. We purchased the lot because of the lake's great sandy bottom area and large level lot. When looking at what we wanted to build on the lot, we just couldn’t find what we really wanted. To be honest, I don’t know that we really knew what we wanted. One day we were inside our barn at our home 50 miles from the lake. We started looking around and seeing the beauty of the barn that was constructed with rough sawn and hand crafted timbers and wooden pegs in the early 1890’s. We started thinking how amazing it would be if we made that into our lake house. Well the journey began shortly thereafter…

Piece by piece, the barn was disassembled and numbered, then sandblasted, sorted and prepared for transport. With very limited resources we began the process one little bit at a time. Foundation one year, timber frame the next year and so on…we moved at a snail’s pace but each and every detail was done to perfection. We designed every aspect of the house to accommodate our family and have plenty of space for entertaining guests. We love to share our space with others looking to relax and enjoy lake living as much as we do.

Sincerely,
Dan & Robyn Ogden
