Camille and Joseph Simmons had been trying (and failing) to buy their first home for almost three years when they decided to widen their search. As longtime Long Beach, California residents enjoying the new flexibility of work-from-home schedules, a visit to the mountains adjacent to San Bernardino sent the Simmons hunting for a home in the woods. In her search, Camille stumbled upon a unique house in the small town of Crestline that she describes as a "crazy cottage castle." Originally a typical wood cabin, the last owner, who was an eccentric artist, had renovated the house to his liking, including the addition of a castle-like tower and many Moorish arches. "It was this very magical home — very whimsical," Camille says, "That was what drew us to it — it felt like our own private Disneyland." |
