I must admit I got lost in the story of the house, too. If it were in the middle of nowhere ... on dry land, in the woods or in the desert, it would appeal to me more. Not right out there in the middle of the water though ... stuck out like a sore thumb with boat traffic everywhere. (Sigh.) Thanks ... but I'll pass on that one. (But I like a lot of the pioneering spirit that built it and keeps it going. More power to them!! Can you tell I am not a city-girl? You can? What gave it away??)
