    What does your ideal cabin look like?

    My wife and I are dreaming of buying a cabin.

    We've been to 3-4 friend's places in the past couple years. Some are BARE basics, four walls, middle of the nowhere, boat access only, with nothing but a fireplace and a tiny bit of solar power.

    Others are basically just homes away from home, wifi, TV, multiple bathrooms, a grocery store within 20 minutes.

    So if you guys could pick your ideal cabin - what would be the right balance in your opinion The works? Totally roughing it? Somewhere in the middle? On a lake, the ocean, or in a forest?

    Home away from home, on a lake somewhere secluded, in a forest or near one. Possibly on a mountain. I'm not sure about the power situation, but I'd definitely need modern day plumbing in it. I think they make solar water heaters nowadays.

    Far enough to feel like I got away but close enough to be a viable weekend trip. Not too big, minimal maintenance (I don't want to spend the weekend working), but power and plumbing. Proximity to shopping isn't important to me. But definitely on a lake. Not a canal connected to the lake, but the lake itself. I want the morning coffee view.
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

    I kind of like the "On Golden Pond" type of place.. Accessible by car but definitely off the beaten path.. Would like to have something that you could have an old 50's woody boat on. Good seclusion..

    sorry GF,

    A few years back I severely damaged a hamstring and I do five yoga poses to stretch before riding an exercise bike. It's literally just 20 minutes of stretching and certainly not a real yoga workout.




    NOW MY FAVORITE TYPE OF CABIN IS ONE THAT WOULD CONTAIN..
