"The family's rental cabin is steeped in interesting history. Over 100 years old, their home is a part of a 'village' of cabins owned by the nonprofit Isaac works for and 'occupied by on-site staff and their families.' Back in the day they were used as recovery cabins for tuberculosis patients, and since they are a part of the history here in Manitou, it's very difficult to get approval to change layouts or floor plans."
"Though rich with character, the cabin was lacking in space, especially in the home's two bedrooms, which measure only about 7×10 feet. For the couple, that meant only being able to squeeze their queen bed frame in, 'no room for a dresser or anything!' The only closets are tiny ones in each bedroom; the home offers no linen, hall, or storage closet."
Jasmine Morse and her family downsized from a 2,000-square-foot home to a 650-square-foot cabin in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The cabin, over 100 years old, has historical significance as it was once used for tuberculosis recovery. The family aimed to create a space that reflected their story, mixing vintage and modern decor. Despite its charm, the cabin's small bedrooms and limited storage posed challenges, requiring them to adapt their living arrangements creatively.
