It is an uncommon arched Quonset-shaped cabin in Wakefield, Michigan that rests on a peaceful and wooded plot of land. The cabin, constructed with state-of-the-art materials, was innovatively modeled in 2020 and is a merger of the signature curved finishing of Quonset huts and the log shell of a traditional cabin. Enclosed by old trees and nature’s beauty, the land grants a high level of privacy and at the same time the cabin can be lived on all year round or even just used as the occasional getaway in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
This cabin is an exterior one-off for sure! While the beautiful arched roofline enables the cabin to get a fierce attention-grabbing look, the log siding adds the feel of a cabin that is not going anywhere anytime soon.
The front of the house is graced with a large porch which accompanies house residents in their little outdoor activities such as having a good morning or an inspirational evening, both while being surrounded by great views of the forest. By the use of materials and the characteristic form of the cabin, people cannot tell if the cabin is quite conventional or very modern.
Thanks to the high, arched ceiling that brings about the extremely spacious volume and brightness, the open living area is a wonderful haven. Windows extend following the roofline curve which results in plenty of daylight inside and magnificent views of the forest outside. This is an open-plan house where a single space houses a living, dining room, and kitchen. The curved ceiling and the various exposed wood surfaces give the house a character almost like a piece of art, a good thing it makes it stand out among other cabin designs.
Efficiently quite kitchen area is, in a way, a small part of the main living area. Worktops and cabinetry provide sufficient work area while keeping everything in close proximity to the cook-owner. Daylight that comes through arched windows helps dramatically in enhancing the kitchen’s features. The open plan allows for the cook to engage in conversations or do any other activity that the occupants of the living space are involved in. The kitchen here is really a kitchen as opposed to one catering mostly to occasional use on weekends.
Located in a peaceful part of the house encouraging rich sleep, bedroom also features a peaceful space for a retreat. The bedroom can be a somewhat secluded area as it is comfortable enough for its purpose and additionally natural light, which is abundant here, along with little sound contribute to one’s desire to succumb to rest completely.
Bathroom is full and the fixtures are new ones. Another plus is large water pressure. The cabin’s small and smart design guarantees that use of the main floor will be without much hassle whether it is a be a full-time residence or seasonal retreat.
Exteriorwise, 20 acres depict a mesh clearing and mature trees. The soil is gently inclined making it convenient to take a walk or use light equipment. There are a number of spots from which one can have a long unbroken view of the land. This is the benefit of the property to a lover of nature since one can be watching wildlife, enjoying changing of seasons or simply admiring the scenery from different points. The fact that the cabin is on a quiet road is an additional consideration when one thinks about the level of tranquility, which tends to be gone nowadays.
Seasonal variations are the reasons why the property keeps on having something attractive to offer year in, year out. In spring, there is fresh green undergrowth and various wildflowers; summer beneath the canopy is a time of deep shade; fall quickly turns the hardwoods into brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold; winter unveils longer views and gives rise to a quietness that is only interrupted by the occasional sound of frost being squashed. Cabin’s porch and trails provide an opportunity to witness all these changes close up and thus nature is made to be not only present but also alive and ever-changing.
