The Woodcutter's House is a location in Harvest Moon: Back To Nature.
Gotz the woodcutter lives with Louis in the forest southeast of the player's farm. If the player visits Gotz, he will give the player several options for house expansions, upgrades and building materials. Many of Gotz's upgrades are useful, and the house expansions are mandatory if the player wishes to get married. Each expansion takes 4 days to complete.
The Woodcutter's House is open Mondays to Thursdays from 9am to 4:30pm, Fridays from 10:40am to 1pm (inside his house) and 1pm to 4:30pm (behind his house). Once the clock hits 4:30pm, Gotz will already be on break and will not accept expansion jobs. Gotz visits Harris on Saturdays, and is never home on Sundays.
