here are a couple of pics of our cabin. 18x24 inside 10x24 porch.
When I started I had a 6' porch in the works and after looking around at other porches, 6' is to small. I made some changes on the fly to allow for a 10'. Looking back I am so glad we did it. We end up on the porch all the time, and 6' makes it tough just to walk by someone sitting on a swing. It is not on the pond but has a desent veiw. Your place will be awesome being right on the water. Think about the porch.
