Mountain House of the Forester

The mountain house of forester Tom was built by his grandfather on a rocky exaltation near the forest.

Stairs carved out in the rock lead to it, followed by a path made of flat stones.
This path is crossed by a mountain stream rich in fish. It flows from the spring next to it to flow a bit further in a refreshing cascade on the stones.
In the clearing in front of the house you can relax in the shade of a tree where resides the Evelyn squirrel named by Tom's wife, Eve.
There is a terrace in front of the house, which is reached by a few steps. From there you can enter the ground floor with an old-fashioned fireplace.
Next to the fireplace there is a chest of drawers, a shelf with books and an armchair where Eva likes to sit.
On the opposite side, a guitar is hung on the wall, and below it is a box serving as a table with two chairs.
From the ground floor, you can either climb the stairs to the upper floor or descend a ladder to the basement.
In the basement Tom has set up his workshop. There is a workbench, and tools such as an axe and a saw are hung on the walls.
Drews, boards, sticks and stumps are arranged around. On the other side there are chests, boxes, barrels, containers and the like, for example with grains for birds and animals, hay for deer for winter and fish caught in the stream.
When you return to the ground floor and head upstairs, you will reach the attic. There is a fireplace with an armchair, just like downstairs, but there is also a bed.
On the opposite side, under the window, stands an old desk with maps, a compass and a magnifying glass, as Tom is interested in adventures and expeditions.
Next to the desk, there is a storage area for firewood.
On the roof with green tiles you can see a bay window, and a stone chimney protrudes on the other side.
The house is finished in an old style, with candles standing here and there, as the forester and his wife maintain an old-fashioned atmosphere.
Eve, however, found that she needed good light for reading, hence the lamp hanging from the bookshelf.

They live peacefully, away from civilization, but sometimes unexpected lost travelers reach them, as they did today.
Harry and his son Billy, with large backpacks, after a few hours of hiking, came across the mountain house.
Fortunately, Tom and Eve are hospitable, so the tourists spent the night with them and only the next day set off on their journey.

Tom is a forester from generation to generation and conscientiously fulfills his duties, and in his free time he tinkers in the basement or studies maps with a goal known only to himself.
Eve, on the other hand, likes to read books and sit on the terrace, or play with Evelyn the squirrel.
Their house is not very big but certainly cozy and they live well in it.
