The home's story
Where the Creek Sings in Winter
A canyon cottage that comes alive after the rain.
Most of the year the creek is a dry bed of stones. After a winter storm it fills, and you can fall asleep to it from the sleeping porch.
- Sleeping porch facing the creek
- Workshop built from salvaged wood
