Designing every detail with purpose.
It may look like we’re just building a door in a 3D model… but even the smallest details matter.
For our cabin entry doors, we’re adding five panes of glass at different heights so guests of all height, whether standing or seated, can see who’s at the door… or catch a glimpse of the wildlife wandering by.

Creating the cabins in 3D before construction helps us experience the spaces before they’re built. We can test everything from door styles and sightlines to furniture placement and everyday usability.
Accessibility isn’t one big feature we add at the end. It’s dozens of thoughtful decisions made from the very beginning.

What do you think of the 5-pane door?

Would you want this view in your cabin?

It has been 3 years since we purchased our dream property in Door County, Wisconsin on beautiful Europe Lake. We’ve worked our tails off to design the cabins, design the site and save every penny for the down payment. Many people have so generous with donations and prayers. We cannot be more thankful and excited. PLEASE FOLLOW and SHARE our journey to built WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE cabins.

We LOVE playing Miniature Golf at Evergreen Miniature Golf The only course in Door County where we can all play together. Whether you have a stroller, cane, walker, wheelchair or legs this course is for you! ❤️ Looking forward to playing again soon.

So happy to visit with this beautiful family today! They’re some of the kindest people you’ll meet. They’re also working on something very special: AccZess Europe Lake Cabins—an upcoming accessible cabin retreat on Europe Lake that’s being thoughtfully designed with barrier-free access so everyone can experience the beauty of Door County.

The builder called today. I asked if we could switch the exterior door color.. too late it’s been ordered 🙌🏼

THROW BACK THURSDAY. I can’t believe we started this process in 2022. This pic was taken at The Hugel Haus (closed and is now the White Pine Supper Club). Maria and I took much needed respite there after driving 10 hours in a the aftermath of a snow storm. We wanted to see the property in the winter before we purchased it. Looking forward to visiting the White Pine Supper Club in a few weeks to recreate the pic (minus the snow 😉) They say… good things take time. A classic reminder that patience and persistence are required to build anything lasting. ❤️

The exterior finishes for our small cabin are officially finalized. A smoky grey color meant to blend with the woodland. The smallest details were made with love. With two bedrooms, a sleeping porch, and one bathroom, this cabin is designed for a small family or quaint group of friends. Every choice was made with comfort, accessibility, and that cozy Door County cabin feel in mind. You'll soon catch me relaxing by the fire pit or stoking the wood-fired hot tub.

Thank you for following along on this journey and sharing your ideas along the way. Your feedback has helped shape so many of these decisions.

Dimensions are dialing in, and the spatial relationship between the two cabins is set. Hoping to have the cabin corners staked and ready for review within the next 3 weeks! (Fingers crossed.... wink wink contractor 😉

While we are building the cabins from scratch, I want them to be filled with warmth, comfort and character. I am trying to purchase most of the furniture and decor from marketplace, resale shops and antique stores. This means the kids and I are loading up the trailer and going on many adventures.

Check out this Aviator Style Metal Top Kitchen Island we bought! We chose a moveable island vs a permanent one b/c it offers more flexibility. Now to decide what color to paint the legs…
