My memory is about the same. I slept up in the top room (never heard it called attic) and could look outdoors at the tree next to the window and the hill side nearby. I slept under quilts made from Grandpa's old coats and pants, backed with feed sacks, blanket lining, heavy but warm and comforting to a little girl up there all by herself.
