Extra chairs and other items hang from the walls, conserving space. There is also a loft. When the Teppers have visitors now, they most often prefer to stay in the cabin instead of one of the Teppers’ guest rooms in the house, even though it is without electricity or running water.
The cabin does, however, have a screened-in porch now which doubles the size of the cabin. Mr. Tepper feels it is probably the perfect place for writing, as peaceful as it is.
