As top cities become pricey and competitive, smaller yet vibrant cities attract those in search of more than work. Crissie McMullan decided to raise her family in Missoula. There she keeps a backyard cabin as work refuge.

Crissie McMullan and her husband Jeremy Smith wanted more space for their Missoula home. The couple lives with their daughter and college-student niece and often have out-of-town guests. Plus, Smith works from home and Mcmullan was planning to take a year off work to write a novel.

To make extra room for guests and a writing retreat, they hired local designer Charles Finn to craft them a cabin out of recycled and reclaimed materials.
