Lyndsay Lamb, one of the dynamic and sassy co-hosts of HGTV's Unsellable Houses, has lived in her country cottage for a little more than 18 months. She traded in her centrally located 1910 home in downtown Snohomish, Washington, for an eclectic four-bedroom structure sitting on 10 acres of land about a 25-minute drive outside of town. Though she still considers herself a downtown girl, she has no regrets. As Lyndsay does, she turned the rundown shack into an eclectic, bohemian-style haven surrounded by a lush property that caters to her family's various endeavors. Step onto the quirky Lamb compound and through the home's Dutch side door for a full tour.

The property feels almost endless when the HGTV digital team pulls up to the house on a bright morning in June. Lyndsay's dog, Remo, runs to greet us — and he's not the only surprise waiting. Hours later Justin reveals a secret "bomb shelter" he discovered hidden on the back of the property shortly after moving in. We follow him down a ladder into the dank, dark space with amazement. The property also boasts a lavish garden Lyndsay tends to daily — "She is always in her garden," says Lyndsay's twin sister and co-host Leslie Davis — a large barn-turned-workshop, a garden shed, a garage balancing a man cave on its head and, of course, the twins' famous collection of Volkswagens.

"The house was in rough shape when we bought it," Lyndsay says. "But we'd fallen in love with the property." The Lambs boosted the home's curb appeal with sage and white paint and cedar siding. Here, Remo, the "protector of the property," lounges in the sun. Occasionally the Lambs welcome an unexpected fifth property dweller into the yard: a small black bear they call Gus.

Lyndsay infused her personality into every space on the property, but perhaps the most special touch is the reclaimed sign post perched in the middle of her side garden. Her son Miles Lamb, now 18, built the piece by hand for Lyndsay when he was 12. "He collected beach wood and built it with my niece's and nephews' names in order of age," says Lyndsay. "It was originally in front of our beach house, and when we sold it he moved the sign to my garden."
