Cabinscape

A glass-infill railing allows for uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest.

Plenty of sitting areas can be found in the Joni cabin, which comfortably sleeps three guests. A wood-and-glass railing along the bunk bed ensures natural light isn't blocked by the loft area, and allows a warm summer breeze to circulate.

Even on the coldest winter day, these cozy cabins, which are heated by a propane furnace, are warm and inviting.

The kitchen in the Joni model features a stainless steel sink and faucet, and a wooden countertop made of logs that John Loerchner milled, planed, joined, and then sealed with floor varnish. A high shelf cleverly disguises extra kitchen items, which helps to reduce clutter.

Each cabin comes equipped with a fully functional kitchen. Above, a wooden countertop echoes the hand-hewn, reclaimed wood on the walls, which was provided by John Loerchner's brother.

Solar panels on the roof of the Penner cabin provide all the electricity it needs. The cabins are mobile to reduce the impact to the land, and to take advantage of different locations depending on the season.

In the warmer months, the window can be raised to allow those on the deck and inside the cabin to chat face-to-face.
