Night Cottage.


I often wonder what our cottage looks like from
the little lane we travel down to get home. We
don't typically see much of this sweet view as our
entrance and driveway are on the left hand side.


It was lovely the other night to stop on our walk
and take a picture of this view. We are currently
thinking about adding a secondary entrance through
the trees on the left so guests would see more of
the front of the house. But it's not a cheap expense,
so it's something we'll really have to consider. Our
guests have a lovely drive in and then once parked,
they start to walk along the path and the house
kind of blossoms as the walk continues. And we
are in the middle of creating a "Secret Garden"
theme between those trees and the house. Lots to
consider as we work on the landscape of our home. 

Can your guests see your home as they drive up?
Or, like ours, is it a bit of a mystery at the start?

We used to live in a house in the country with a nice longish treed driveway. There was always a nice walk to the mailbox no matter what the weather.

I love night time photos of houses. Of everything, actually.

Our home is right there, on a street, so no mystery. -smile-

Our home is right on the street, but we did plant three trees in the front on it. In the summer when the trees are full the house is somewhat hidden.

No, they can't see it at all. It's down the mountain, and very secluded. Like yours, it's in the woods. The pink cottage is right on the street, though. You can't miss it.

Granny, I bet you loved driving down the long road. Ours is long until you get to our spot and then our driveway is short. But it might become extended this year. Considering a bit of a revamp.

We are quite hidden in the Summer Debi, but in the Winter, you can see our house thru the trees. And the roof is taller than the trees so that stands out too!

Stephenie, I love you have both experiences, secluded and visible.
