Thanks to Beth for sending us her cabin on Lake Dora, MN, a property she co-owns with family members. Lots of inherited furniture, art and wood paneling presented a challenge for our design skills and 'work with what you have' mentality. We think Beth can continue to create a stellar stay for her guests (she is a Superhost, so no biggie there) with a few tweaks and some long term design eventualities.
