Catch Up - Cabin

Well a while back (probably this summer)  I said I would do a cabin tour for those of you who keep up on here.    So I was going through pictures and remembered this, so here is the tour of our first "home" in Alaska.  We really enjoyed staying in this cozy little place, but we sure do enjoy our own place now.

Walking in the front door you enter the kitchen/dining/office area.  It was organized very efficiently.  We did find out that some of our baking pans did not fit in this oven but we quickly learned. :)  These pictures were taken after we moved out and I wad done cleaning, so it does look a little roomier than it was at times.  There is a shelf between the two windows pictured below, and that was where we placed our microwave and directly below that on the counter we placed our dish drying rack.  The dining table set was actually a corner bench so we were always planning before we all sat down and slid in.

This is the loft located directly above the kitchen. The ladder was on a rope and pully system so could be pulled up out of the way during the day if needed.  If the ladder was down, when you walk in the front door you would walk right up the ladder (or just go around).  The full size mattress in this loft is sitting on the floor, because if it was on a frame the edges would probably touch the ceiling. I had to stand in the middle of the loft if I wanted to stand up straight.  And Ellie sure had fun climbing up and down the ladder. 

This shot is taken from the front door.  You can see all the way to the back of the house.  The window in the far back is the window that was in Tate's room.

This is the laundry room slash storage room.  You can't see it but there are shelvesl up above all round this room.  There is also a trap door in the floor that goes to the crawlspace.  There was lots of storage underneithe the house also.  The door to the left is the door that leads to the bathroom.

This is the bathroom.  Just another bathroom.  Right behind the door is the shower and the hot water heater.  That about sums up this room.

This is the living room slash closet slash pantry.  We had a loveseat our tv and clothes hanging up in this room.  To the left, not in the picture, is a cuboard that was made especially for holding cans and goods.  This part of the cabin is actually not part of the "log" cabin, but instead it was a garden shed that was lifted up and attached to the main cabin and then refinished on the inside. 

And this was Tate's room.  And yes, now Tate can say that he used to sleep in a garden shed :) 

So this place was small, but we sure enjoyed living in it the short time that we did.  And if you ever decide to move to Alaska, this would be a great place to rent.
