Before being renamed the "Cowboy Cabin", it was the Koehler River House, an incarnation w/ a simpler look .

Suppose you found a homesteader's cabin in Texas looking like early 1900's but like new, w/ better insulation, a few upgrades to improve comfort & quality of life. Would you swap?

What would you need to feel like you had enough house to live in for the rest of your life, perhaps other tiny suites nearby with friends, fellow gardeners, nature lovers alike?
