Hopefully I will be able to post this, as I have never posted a link before. Think this would be great fun.

Oh my! What a fabulous weekend hideaway/getaway it would make! I especially love the oversized round window!

It's really cute, but I'd need to have an inside bathroom for myself.

Yeah, where is it. And I'm not thinking "cute." I'm thinking "zen."

Beautiful! And what a gorgeous setting. I like how the woodwork is done so the beauty of the wood can be seen.

It's very close in size to Thoreau's cabin at Walden Pond.

It's fun to think about how effective 100 item living would be here.

If this were moved on the site of a permanent campground, they might have central showers and restrooms in addition to the outhouse and heated tub that's mentioned on the page. And if it were, I'd add plumbing to make an indoor kitchen sink possible.

I'd add a fenced vegetable garden and a small fruit and nut orchard in nearby clearings and catch fish from the lake to increase sustainability.

I have a school bus RV that I fixed up and decorated the inside in a style inspired by these gypsy wagons: http://gypsywaggons.co.uk/ It's so much homier than a standard issue motorhome and I'm always working on it and changing things. I have a teeny bathroom with a homemade composting toilet.

Kathy, can you take some photos to share with us. That is so great that you fixed it all up. Do you use it for camping or do you live in it full- time? Did you paint the outside/insulate it or anything to make it an all season bus. I admire your ability to get this done!!!:)

If you liked the gypsy wagon, what do you think of this? I think it's absolutely charming.
