Cozy Cabins to visit

How do you find paradise? Drive past the lower lake until you come to a lighted bridge. At the end of a private lane, in a clearing in the wild pine forest, Fannie's Barn waits for you like a Kinkade painting. You'll marvel at the gleaming hardwood floors and soaring beamed ceilings. The massive stone fireplace adds warmth and rustic charm. You'll feel like royalty in the loft bedroom with its own private sitting area, antique armoire, Tiffany lamps, and sumptuous king size bed with lavish designer linens. Step out onto your 2nd story porch and watch deer grazing in the meadow. At night, the stars are amazing. You'll truly forget there's anyone else in the world. But the best is yet to come - your own huge, private indoor Jacuzzi! This is pure luxury at its finest. Be prepared to fall in love . . . .

Make every day a honeymoon in this delightful cabin on a wooded hillside. A large front porch welcomes you to come inside, or sit a spell in the porch swing and enjoy the peace and quiet. You'll catch a scent of potpourri as you walk through the doorway and admire the charming antique furnishings, stained glass, oak floors and soaring beamed ceiling. Have an intimate dinner beside the fireplace (in season). Soak your cares away in the 4' by 6' indoor Jacuzzi, with separate shower. Snuggle in the king size brass and iron bed. Romance blooms at Hearts and Roses Cabin. Everything you need is here . . . enjoy!

Sitting on a secluded hillside at the end of its own private lane, you'll find the Elk Lodge Cabin, one of Cinnamon Valley's most private retreats. Men will appreciate the rustic southwestern decor, massive beamed ceiling, walnut floors and the private outdoor hot tub in a gazebo. Ladies, not to worry, you'll feel absolutely spoiled in the 4' by 6' indoor whirlpool tub, with separate shower. You'll delight in the covered porches, complete with a glider and a treehouse view. Climb the stairs to the loft bedroom, but be prepared . . . you may never want to leave. Lose yourself in the comfort of the massive 700 pound bed from Idaho. Hang your clothes in the antique armoire, watch for deer from the private upstairs porch. You'll think you've awakened in a romance novel. He'll swear he's in a rustic hunting lodge. At Elk Lodge, you get the best of both worlds.

Treehouse Cottages has opened an additional thirty-three acre woodland about a mile from their original location. The Bungalow is the first of three treehouses to be built in this hidden pine forest. 0wner and builder, Terry Miller, loved treehouses when he was a boy. His love of wood and natural elements definitely shows in the handcrafted details he brings to this charming cabin in the trees.

Climb twenty-two stairs to your private cottage in the trees. A fine quality double rocker adds a thoughtful touch to the front porch, suggesting the pleasures that await you inside. Owner and builder, Terry Miller, is a gifted craftsman who used natural wood in this cabin, which sits twenty-two feet off the ground.

When you walk through the front door, you'll be welcomed by soft music from the CD player. I recommend the Bungalow Forest CD with its natural woodland sounds and relaxing piano notes. Store your clothes in the armoire, light a fire log and stretch out on the supple leather loveseat. There'll be time later to discover all the amenitiess that make this cozy cabin so special.

Patsy Miller made the pretty yellow dishes for this small kitchen. You'll find the essentials to prepare breakfast or dinner for that special someone. Fresh flowers on the dining table add an extra personal touch. In the cupboard you'll find a generous assortment of coffee, cocoa and hot tea. The small fridge holds a variety of sodas and a loaf of homemade bread - what a tasty, welcoming touch!

Charming cobblestone fireplace. Fire logs are provided, and you can purchase more at the gift shop at the office.

You will love the lavish, elegant bedding and sheets, but wait until you lie down in this king-size, hand-carved four poster bed. Layered with soft fabrics and textures that will delight and sooth you, it's utterly decadent. To add a touch of magic, the moon and stars peek through the skylight above the bed, and the woodland view goes on forever. Accent lights with dimmers set the mood for an evening of romance.

Sitting in its own bay, surrounded by picture windows that frame the treetops, this romantic tub will invite you to light candles, open the blinds, and linger . . . the water stays nice and warm. Pure pleasure! Patsy made the yellow and blue tiles that enhance this tub. A small basket with soap and bath gel makes you feel thoroughly pampered.

On the back side of the cottage, a wrap-around deck overlooks the wooded hillside. A colorful table and chairs and a large gas grill offer delightful alternatives to indoor dining. Don't forget to fill the birdfeeder.

I took these photos from the picture window, inches away. Clearly, treehouse bungalow birds are used to being spoiled too.

The colors of dusk filter through the tree tops, reflecting off large picture windows. This cozy cabin is full of natural light, which makes it ideal for artists and writers.
