This property has history! To start, the previous cabin owner Ed Homer was a good friend of my late husband. They met flying airplanes and hit it off the first time they met. Ed was an outdoorsman and lived in Alaska in his earlier days and crashed on Mount McKinley and lost both feet due to frostbite. After recovery he was back flying and was hired by an airline which is how he met my husband Gene. The two were great friends and Gene and I had always envisioned getting a cabin "up north" one day for retirement. My husband passed away and Ed summited Mt. McKinley after Genes death. Ed said he had a dream that woke him up telling him to summit, which is in his book "The Hill". Ed then continued to mountain climb and attempted Everest. He was climbing on Mt. Rainer and was killed by a falling rock. After his death I had this pull like I can't describe worrying about his cabin/lot. The pulling feeling continued for almost a year and finally I called the neighbors next door to ask what would happen to the cabin (the cabin was 500 sf at the time and needed major major work to say the least) and if his family could at least take care of it. Again, I felt this protection feeling of maybe not the cabin but the place/location.... a feeling of belonging overwhelmed me.
One year later I was the fortunate owner of the cabin and the remodel has taken over 10 years to complete! The remodel is close to what Ed envisioned and I'm sure Gene would have loved also. I love the area and cabin very much and take strong pride in owning the cabin and plan to move there after retirement.
Hope you enjoyed.
