Rustic Riverfront Guest Home

The Walters family stood on their property along the banks of the Clinch River. They saw two needs sitting on the same patch of ground. First, they wanted somewhere comfortable for in-laws and out-of-town relatives to stay during the holidays. That meant a real bedroom, a real bathroom, and a kitchen worth cooking in. They also wanted a backyard event space they could use year-round. It needed to be big enough for football parties, family reunions, and birthdays. In short, the kind of gatherings that sprawl from inside to outside without missing a beat. One structure had to do both jobs without compromising either.
