Cabins Built for Wheelchair Accessibility
After a fire in March 2007 that burned our 2 cabins to the ground, we wanted to rebuild in a way that would include as many visitors as possible. A neighbor encouraged us to do the best we could in the small footprint that we had. Building code did not allow us to expand beyond the original cabins’ footprints, and we were also limited by very narrow property boundaries. On the positive side, what we had was fairly flat!
Scroll down for details that we hope will help you decide if our cabins will work for you. Feel free to contact Connie to ask anything that will help you decide.
