They build a luxury campsite complete with an historic logging flume waterfall that spills into a serene pond, bring in huge mountain top boulders, fashion a firepit out of moss rocks that doubles as a barbeque, and forge a trailway big enough for a jeepster to park his rig on to enjoy the peace and quiet of the regal yet rustic space.

Upscale Wine Lodge
With one family member having recently returned from being deployed overseas and another caring for a young child, Jake and Joel shoot for a low maintenance, high usability yard that reflects the homeowner's love for wine and weaponry.
