At Starhill Farms in Texas, Bader Cabin is a wonderful symbol of the rural life of the past and the beauty of the countryside combined with the craftsmanship of the time. This carefully renovated log cabin from the early 1900s is an authentic showcase of the pioneer era while the addition of a few stylish modern conveniences makes the stay even more comfortable. Because of its ability to invoke nostalgia, Bader Cabin is a perfect getaway not only for history lovers but also for couples who enjoy being close to nature and like to get some rest in a quiet, beautiful environment.
The cabin looks and feels like a traditional frontier home from the outside. The walls are made of the very same hand hewn logs which have been tightly fitted together to keep the cabin warm for more than a hundred years.
To enhance the rustic charm, a wide porch runs along the front of the house and it is perfect for sitting and enjoying the peaceful setting of the pond and, if lucky, the casual encounter of some woodland creatures. Bader Cabin is situated under the shade of the trees, and the nearby meadow and forest add to the cabin’s pacific atmosphere as well as provide a sense of total isolation.
Enter the cabin and the fireplace, together with the old walls, immediately take over. Continuity in design is a feature: inside of the cabin, wood (both new and recycled) and stones give character to the room and, on the other hand, the wooden furniture made with the help of the local master craftsmen is in harmony with the cabin style. Besides the stove, which is a great place to sit, enjoy and talk, the red yellow flames throw a gentle warmth around the room.
Downtown is a merry and practical kitchen. Basic appliances and necessities in the package are just some of the things that make simple meal preparation easy. The setting is so practical that you can, for example, have your coffee or prepare a snack efficiently with everything within your reach in this historical setting.
The bedroom serves as a perfect retreat for a good night’s sleep with a large king size bed and is located in an area designed to be quiet and comfortable for a lot of hours of undisturbed sleep. Changes in the cabin’s interior resulting from the natural light and the silence make the whole place very relaxing.
The cabin has been designed with great care in order to provide the bedroom as a lovely little haven, where you can get energy for a new day full of exploring.
Complementing the charming, old fashioned vibe of the cabin, the bathroom boasts an elegant clawfoot tub where guests can luxuriate in a leisurely bath. Fixtures are also modern for convenience yet perfectly integrated within the rustic setting. Overall, the design of the cabin, warm and authentic as well as highly functional, offers a homey space that transports you back in time while meeting the needs of modern day travelers.
Coming back to the outdoors, it is easy to agree that it plays an important role in making the cabin lovely.
