This is the REAL log cabin where we stayed recently, in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This was an amazing Bed and Breakfast. Remote, totally out in the wilderness, wildlife (deer, turkey) everywhere, gorgeous fall colors! Did we ever luck out! The breakfasts were incredible, and brought to us in a 4-wheeler, as our cabin was not easy to reach. The old dog who lived there, knew the trails and took us for walks who-knows-where. I felt like Timmie, from the old Lassie TV programs -- "Just follow the dog - she knows the way!" While the cabin looks antiquated, it WAS very comfy inside -- just big enough for 2, but lacking nothing we needed. You should have seen the view from the bathtub!
The below photo is of Mr. Ole Goat on the front porch, where he spent most of his time, enjoying the view.
This is Ms. Old Goat on the front porch, where she spent most of HER time, enjoying the view, and sometimes sewing those Little Angel Girl stitcheries recently posted. It was a little brisk!
This is one view.
And this is the view from the front porch.
And this a photo I just liked - I felt healthy, slim and tall (I'm NOT slim) -- like the pine trees -- taken along Lake Sheridan, in the same area.
That cabin looks wonderful and views are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is my idea of a wonderful place to be, I love cabins and tree covered hills; it's spectacular.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I can see why you love going there!
ReplyDeleteThat looks & sounds like pure heaven!

Lovely little retreat place! Isn't it nice to get away from it all! Don't I wish I could make my own home as nice and cozy and "retreat-like"? So smart of you to take along stitchery!
