What does your ideal cabin look like?

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.

I went to a wedding at Naramata, BC - where the road ends when you are near Pentiction. Such a nice little community - at that time the only accomodation was a Motel and what the groom did was to rent out the place entirely for us, as he knew the owner and got a great rate (something like $20 a unit). So we reimbursed him about $100 each and that was his wedding gift.

Such a nice resort - just walk across the dead-end lane to the lake to your own private beach. While the bride and groom were off on their honeymoon, we had a great time at the place.

That is where I'd ideally would like a cabin - on a lake. There at Naramata, or on Shuswap Lake - also in B.C.

We were camping this year and my wife felt ill, so we had to go to the hospital - over an hour drive away. It drove home the point that I'd want to be nearer medical facilities than where we were on Shuswap Lake. So, somewhere by a lake, maybe 45 minutes away from the nearest hospital (not a clinic - they aren't 24 hours) and maybe an hour drive from civilization.

Funny - I live in a seaside town and I want to go to a lake...

I do yoga as well (really, it's like you say Hal - kinda more intelligent stretching) on my bed every morning before I get up - for about 4 years.

My physio gave me the poses as she said my flexibility wasn't great - it's all back-strengthening moves and unlike a lot of my friends who make noises when rising or sitting, I feel great.

My Dad used to take us to Mara Lake (Shuswap Lake) every summer. Some of the best memories of my life

No cabins, we stayed in a small tent trailer.

The Legend of the Red Cowboy Hat

I have to relay a family story. One year we were driving out to Mara Lake and I was wearing one of those straw cowboy hats with the whistle on the string. I leaned my head out of the car window and it blew right off my head, out the window. We were doing about 70 mph so my Dad didn't stop. I was crushed. I loved that hat.

So every trip out to Mara Lake in the following years my sister or brother would exclaim - Hey hal! There's your red hat! And they would point out the window like it was really there until I ended up crying. Ffs even my Mom and Dad started doing it in subsequent years

You guys live near each other? Could think about working out together..

No - I am kind of near GF, but Hal is a province away.

Let's talk dream cabins

What does your ideal cabin look like?

I've had "Sierra Home Architect 2.0" on my computers for 20 years and spent many hundreds of hours designing different ideas. Most revolve around a multiple small building complex centered on a central cooking and facility area thus keeping all the plumbing in one spot but allowing individual living for my other family when there.
One is set up like an old western town with the "saloon" being the dining and bedrooms in the bank, jail, general store, and other buildings.

My most recent and favorite I planned after my last visit to the Great Smoky Mountain national park. It's based on dog trot style house with large windows facing the mountains from the bedroom end with an all season but closable middle area, and the kitchen and baths on the other end. The other small cabins would be close enough to use the facility's but still have their own privacy.
My idea behind this spread out plan is to keep plumbing to a minimum and in one spot, but also only open up areas depending on how many family members are there.
