Melissa Gilbert was eager to go "back to the prairie," but it wouldn’t come easy. The actress, who famously starred as Laura Ingalls Wilder in TV's "Little House on the Prairie," encountered a rustic cottage on 14 acres in the Catskill mountains of New York that needed plenty of work to be livable.The former child star was determined to make the space, now known as "The Cabbage," her home away from Hollywood. "[My husband] found this place on Zillow, and it looked cute in the pictures and the price was certainly right," the 58-year-old told Next Avenue on Friday.
"We went to take a look at it. From the outside, the house looked like it was carrying a lot of weight. "Not literally sagging; it seemed like it was sort of sad. When we walked in the front door – I’ve smelled musty places, [but] I’ve never smelled anything like the smell that came from this house.
It was overwhelming. Melissa Gilbert has written a new book, "Back to the Prairie." (Gallery Books) "It was full of belongings from the previous owners," she continued. "There were boxes of cereal in the pantry, shampoo and bars of soap in the shower and rotting deer heads on the walls.
Every corner had something in it. Bottles of holy water everywhere, which I didn’t know if I want to understand.Then, in tearing it down and moving things around, we found porn, we found hidden bottles of booze – of course, to go with the holy water. Gotta have balance!" Despite the property being "musty, stinky and crowded," Gilbert was eager to make the seasonal hunting cabin livable year-round for her family.
"It didn’t even have heat," she recalled. "That’s all changed. We have a boiler, we have steam heat, we put in a propane tank, we put in all new plumbing.
