Beyond the garden gate, through the blackberry phragmites forest, the Little Jumping Dog House sails in a sea of dragonflies, swallows and snapping turtles.

Welcome aboard!

Wide open indoors, the main galley breezeway joins the morning deck with the evening. A modern cook's kitchen, espresso bar, indoor lounge, and dining area all mingle in the open floor plan. Aft lie the Captains' quarters. Queen bed and private half-bath. And in the fo'c'sle, two windswept spacious crew's rooms. Queen bed to the East and convertible King/double Twin to the West sharing a full bath.

Outdoors, enjoy the early day's sun with your coffee out front on the morning deck. Take a dip in the cedar water tower hot tub while dinner's on the infrared gas grill out back on the evening deck. Get away and lounge under the shade sail on the sumptuous top deck. Rinse off again because you've become completely addicted to the magical open-sky outdoor shower with unlimited on demand hot water.

Purchased as a near tear-down in the Autumn of 2000, the Little Jumping Dog House is the never-quite finished product of 20 years of live-in hands-on design and construction. Not simply a labor of love; it is a life's work.
