What a wonderful lake home. We have a 6 acre lot in the mountains of Black Hills South Dakota. This style would be perfect. I wonder how I could get a plan of this?

All things must pass, and I hope that steel tubing and wire balustrades shoot through in my lifetime- preferably within the next week or two. But they are more than made up here for by the restful, soul-loosening angles in the ceiling and windows, and by the excellent abundance of wood. More widely spaced rafters would be appreciated and I’d rather see them through the top window than break their line by bevelling them at the ends. More windows could always be added to let in more light and not detract from the harmony of this stable and reliable design.
The look of the panelling in the kitchen is not good though I see why it has been chosen, for its linearity. A better choice might have been a crushed bamboo laminate such as this, but slightly blonder and with a finer, more regular pattern. I do not believe it would visually advance.
The rows of lights are beautiful.
In the bedroom, why not have more glass, the better to lie in bed and enjoy the view of the sky? It is a lovely little eyrie though. Houses should in the main be just like this for the mental health of the populace.

I wonder if this is this available for a rental?

Gorgeous but that bedroom doesn’t really look very cosy.

The softer colored wood and the simply lines and comfortable looking furniture really set this place apart. This is definitely my idea of roughing it.

I went to sleep last night and dreamed I lived in this gorgeous “cabin”!
