good bye Puyallup House, hello cabin?

It's official,

We have accepted an offer on our house on Puyallup house and passed the home inspection, so all we have left to do is wait for the closing date.  It has been rewarding to take something beautiful and make it even more beautiful and functional.

Since we are renting on base next, it leaves me dreaming of ways to invest what we will make on the sale of our home.
Right now I like dreaming of buying some water front property and building up something I've always dreamed of calling "Aunt B's Family Camp"  with so many nieces and nephews near and far and dear friends all over the world that we have moved away from, I've always wanted to create a destination spot that I can take the kids to every summer and let our friends and family come vacation with us.  Then, once it is well established, and we are back home in Washington after Sam retires, we could turn it into a vacation rental.
I've come up with many versions of this dream.  We have spent a lot of time looking at what is available in the current market.  (Both developed and un-developed.)  Right now I am thinking up a property on Lake Cushman or Hood Canal so I can work on it during the day time while the kids are in school for the next 2 or 3 years we are stationed on the peninsula.  These are the plans I've dreamed up today
Build a small "Main house" in the center that has all the conveniences like a kitchen, laundry room & bathroom, and enough room for our family of 6 to sleep in as soon as it is done.

Then, when enough money is saved again, build up bunk houses on either side of the main house with separate rooms for visiting families to bunk in

a dry bunk house

a bunk house with bathroom/shower room

OR...

Instead of building the big house, build a shower/laundry/restroom/kitchen "house" as a support building for tent/trailer camping until we saved enough money to build up as many dry cabins as we would like surrounding it.  The kitchen could have a garage door so it could become an outdoor kitchen, complete with buffet counter, outdoor BBQ, and covered outdoor seating.

Here are some very small dry cabins I like

Plan # 23-2290

• The cabin would have no water or sewer/septic hooked up to it, but electricity could be considered.
• We could put the queen beds on a platform tall enough for suitcases/ duffel bags to fit under neath
• The queen bedrooms would be large enough for a crib and small storage closet.  (Or a large storage closet with night stands.)
• The twin beds would be bunk beds with a storage cabinet between them
• Hooks would line the hallway to keep jackets and things handy yet out of the small bunk rooms
• The patio would be just large enough to fit some seating since there is no seating inside the building.

It's so much fun to dream!
