We Love Our Pond House!
My husband and I had a small pond built several years ago on our farm. I have always wanted a small building by it so we and our family would have a place to stay. After I retired in 2009, I decided it was time to start our project. We talked to Mark McCollom at Coach House and he looked over our ideas and gave us a price quote. On July 13, 2009 at 7:10 a.m. our Coach House arrived and by 2:30 p.m. it was standing. It was a 20' x 30' building which included a 6' porch on the front.

We divided the building in half - one side for a small kitchen/living room area, with a wood burning fireplace.
The other half for a bedroom, small closet and a bath.
There is a hook up in the bath for a stackable washer & dryer.
We have electric baseboard heat for cold weather.
Our son did our wiring, plumbing, carpenter work and tiled the floors and shower.
My husband and I were the clean-up crew and painters.
I hosted a church womens group of twelve for a meeting and we had several weiner roasts and sleepovers with our granddaughters.
Mark and Coach House were great to work with.
We "love" our pond house!
