Rustic Cabin Living on 63 Acres with a Warm and Cozy Interior

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌ cabin located at 3383 Ip Rd in Morgan, Vermont is a stunning representation of a northern New England quietness of nature. The 600 square foot log retreat made in 2004 is nestled among 63 acres of beautiful, moose-filled forest. It includes one bedroom, one bathroom, and a bunk room, which makes the small space a lovely refuge for a family or friends.

The cabin, with its knotty pine walls and a setup that can be powered by a generator, is a perfect mountain getaway at its best – the way the hand-hewn logs shine in the late sun, the cathedral ceilings that give the impression that the house is living with the forest, and the visible beams that, as usual, come from the skilled handiwork of the past generations.

The charm of the cabin lies in its simple and sincere style, a house where the sun rays of early morning coming through the pines and falling on the slate patio, the loft being a cozy corner for reading with the view of the pond, and each and every thing—from the fire from the stove to the gentle sound of rain falling on gutters—being in tune with the earth. This is not just an ordinary home; it is a very nice call to live at a slow life, to let the seasons be the time keepers and to find happiness in the very simple fact of being around nature’s silent magnificence.

The outside of the cabin is a visual music of timber and nature, its solid base going up from the ground like it was always there, the logs piled with the accuracy of a master builder, their bright colors being a kind of reflecting the sun as if the woods had taken it themselves. The metal roof, strong and black, slopes off the Vermont snows while the front slate patio is a lovely base for outdoor furniture—a place for coffee as the mist is going off the spring-fed pond, or for evening fires where the stars are reflecting on the water.

The 63-acre parcel is like a private heaven, with little waves from the pond being the sound of the day, and the woodlands around being walking paths, or a place to watch the deer coming at the break of dawn. In fact, the cabin with its big windows and sheltered doorway, is designed in such a way that nature is still very close, and the beauty of the lot is making the cabin more charming, thus creating a place which is both isolated yet still connected to the vast Vermont countryside. The 3 miles long gated private road leading to the cabin, therefore, is adding more to the feeling of seclusion which is a winding way to your own world of tranquility and wild beauty.

Within, the cabin’s 600-square-foot design is a delightful transition of light and heat, cathedral ceilings are seen soaring up, the exposed beams contributing a bit of rustic theatricality while the hardwood floors are supporting the place with their dark, natural colors. Living room is indeed the home’s core—a large and well-used space for family movie nights, holidays, or even a quiet evening with a book in front of the wood stove, the fire giving off a warm light on the logs and thus inviting you to relax in the comfortable seating. The kitchen which is an open area leads into an inviting cooking area, which has enough counters, a pantry for the storage, and fans on the ceiling that keep the air fresh even on hot days. The place has been planned to make the cooking a pleasurable task–be it a simple breakfast or a lavish meal for the guests, the design making sure that the cook is still in the company of others. The dining space which is next to and open, can seat four people comfortably, the table thus becoming a place for the sharing of laughs and stories, large windows bringing in the light and views that turn every meal into a special one.

The bedroom is a tranquil refuge, a queen bed is placed against the log walls, lots of closet space is there for linens and clothes, and direct access is provided to the full bathroom which is fitted with the latest fixtures and has tile floors. The bunk room, a lovely idea perfect for guests or kids, provides twin beds stacked with space for a dresser, the room being comfortable and useful for a family vacation.

A single full bathroom that is at the center position, is equipped with a tub/shower combo, vanity, and new fixtures thereby making the morning routines easy and refreshing. There are also a few pleasant and convenient features of the cabin like the central heating and air system that provides comfort all through the year, the wood stove that gives a gentle heat on cool nights, and the ceiling fans that provide a refreshing breeze in summer, that make a place that is quite effortless and the beauty lies in perfect harmony of rustic soul and modern simplicity.

One of the things that makes the cabin so beautiful is its relationship with nature, with the slate patio acting as the fire place connector, the deck fire pit letting off the smoke under the stars and the lighted carport making the arrival safe even after dark. Privacy is ensured by the 1.85-acre lot that also has enough space for either a garden or a small play area, the woods that border the property being the perfect trails for walks in the morning or a stroll in the evening.

The cabin in Milo, Maine is well-positioned as it is close to Penobscot Lake and the Appalachian Trail, therefore the area’s best spots for fishing and hiking are only a short drive away, while the cabin is a perfect combination of relaxation and exhilaration. With this, the cabin is such a place where the interior’s rugged extravagance—log walls, wood stove, warm lighting—perfectly blends with the outside world’s natural embrace, thus making it a space that is just as lovely for the joy of being alone, as it is for sharing the happiness, where the views of the pond from the windows are a constant reminder that you are not just living in the cabin—you are living with the land.
