This is the third in my Doorways series, looking at homes and locations mentioned in the Wynter Wild series. See also:
The family moves to a ramshackle farmhouse on Tiger Mountain after Caleb gets custody of Wynter. The house has a modern extension out the back and the famous stone tower. Other than the first two images here, the rest are AI-generated images of various rooms in the house to give you an idea of what it might be like to live there. There are some spoilers here.
Firstly, here’s my mash-up of the house and part of the property, with a Douglas fir forest in the background:
Here’s the house plan so you can mentally walk through the house, if your mind works that way (mine certainly does!). The rooms are named in the configuration they ended up as after the family has lived there a while – so Wynter has the master bedroom, Indio has his studio, Jesse is living in the tower, and the basement has been remodeled into a den and recording studio with a couple of bedrooms for visiting musicians.
Here’s Wynter looking out over the property:
In the following images, not every door and window is in the right place when compared to the plans, but this is just to give you a “feeling” for the home. This is the entry hall:
The above is after Caleb (under Wynter’s advice, I imagine) has renovated. But here’s the yellow kitchen when they first moved in:
The renovated kitchen looks something like this:
Also downstairs are a dining room and a small living room.
Upstairs in the main farmhouse are three bedrooms. Here’s Caleb’s room – after Wynter makes him spruce it up!
And here’s Wynter’s bedroom:
The third bedroom used to be the junk room where they kept band merch, but it got repurposed…
There’s a modern extension built out the back of the main house, which includes the family room:
Indio’s bedroom (decor is a result of Jenny’s influence):
Indio’s studio:
Let’s visit the basement, half of which is a den with the orange couch and a kitchenette…
… and the other half is a recording studio with a control room on the other side of the window.
Moving on to the octagonal tower attached to the house, the ground floor is used as a study:
The middle floor of the tower is called the gaming den, where the family plays board games and plays pool.
The top floor is Jesse’s medieval-style bedroom:
Let’s take a tour of the grounds… Here’s the dry stone wall and physics-defying arch, along with Wynter’s veggie garden:
This is the gazebo where secrets are spilled around the firepit:
The Zen garden next to the tower…

Outside the basement extension is a sunken garden, intended for the Blue Bunker guests to enjoy:
Finally, here’s the inside of the love shack halfway through its renovation:
