Hey there everyone! We’ve got a new discovery for you in this episode. The Cascade Log Cabin is a sight to behold, with its rustic charm that’s sure to capture your heart. This beautiful structure sits atop a stunning incline, and while its design may be simple, the outdoor decks extend outwards and partially down the hill, making the name “Cascade” quite fitting.
One of the features I absolutely love about this cabin are the wraparound porches that span nearly the entire perimeter of the house. The front door is easily accessible from the driveway and leads to the main porch, but the sides and rear of the house also offer cozy, shady spots for relaxation.
The current proprietors have meticulously redesigned the exterior of their home with a stunning landscape that includes stone, gravel, mulch, and greenery arranged in an aesthetically pleasing manner. While this log cabin is primarily a family residence, it is decorated with sophistication, making it a comfortable space for guests and equipped with modern amenities.
To add to the charm of this cabin, two sides possess covered porches while the third has an open deck enclosed with railings on all its sides. This area is perfect for hosting summertime BBQs or smoker sessions with friends and family.

There is an additional building situated to one side of the main house that features an attractive A-frame design and serves a practical purpose. Whether you opt to use it for storage or convert it into a garage, this structure would make a fantastic supplement to the cottage. The sunroom is conveniently located adjacent to the deck, providing a lovely second entrance into the yard. Furthermore, the deck’s positioning at the rear of the house is perfect. Additionally, the loft area offers stunning views of the trapezoidal windows on the exterior wall. Inside, the back wall boasts a stunning stone fireplace complete with a chimney.
Cabins usually come with lovely covered porches where you can relax in the shade. These porches are typically decorated with traditional outdoor furniture like rocking chairs, porch swings, and picnic tables. You can find all of these furnishings at this particular cabin, and there’s even a wire rack that conveniently stores firewood nearby.
As soon as you step inside the log cabin, the stunning log walls, wood ceilings, accent beams, and wooden floors catch your eye. The main floor is well-designed, featuring a bedroom, a sunroom that stretches out to the side of the house, a dining area, a kitchen, and an open floor plan that makes navigation easy. The taxidermy animals and antler and log accents add the perfect finishing touches to create a cozy, lodge-themed atmosphere.
Not only does the fireplace bring a stylish touch to the room, but it also serves a functional purpose in delivering much-needed warmth during the colder months. To create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, consider arranging comfortable chairs and sofas in this space. This area can serve as a family room, even without a TV, and can be customized to fit the layout of your home whether it be a living room, family room, or den.
Towards the back of the main room, one can find the dining area which seamlessly leads to an arched doorway opening into a solarium. From here, one can easily step out onto the backyard and deck, located at the rear of the house. The flow of this area is perfect for unwinding after a tiring day with its warm rustic decor and comfortable seating.
I absolutely adore the archway that’s created by the sturdy timber walls in the cabin. It’s easily one of my favorite features! The way it opens up the sunroom and makes it feel more spacious is just beautiful. Thanks to the numerous windows and doors surrounding the area, there’s always a ton of natural light streaming in. You could even turn this space into a cozy reading nook or a functional home office with some comfy seating.
Inside the Log Cabin’s Cooking Space
The customary U-shaped layout is utilized in the kitchen, with a delightful hardwood cabinet situated opposite the dining area. The stone veneer that embellishes the kitchen’s bar exudes a charming rustic feel that many find appealing. Personally, I am fond of the luminous countertops which perfectly complement the stonework while remaining flush with the cupboards.
This kitchen is equipped with only the basic appliances: a regular-sized fridge, stove, sink, and dishwasher. Although there are plenty of cabinets for storage, the overall design and layout are quite straightforward.
As soon as you enter through the front door, you’ll come across a staircase that leads up to the upper floors and down to the basement. Take a look at these pictures of the loft to get an idea of what it looks like. Unfortunately, we don’t have any images of the basement for now.
As you ascend the staircase, you’ll be greeted by a delightful loft area that’s designed for relaxation. It’s a roomy space with a cozy corner perfectly suited for a TV, a comfortable couch, and perhaps even a desk for writing. The trapezoidal windows in this room match the rest of the house and can be seen from the backyard, adding to the charm of this lovely home.
Although it may be a bit of a challenge, it is possible to arrange a seating area and an entertainment unit against the wall in a way that allows for easy access to the bedroom when needed.
I absolutely love how the loft area is designed with an open concept that provides a clear view of the living space downstairs. It’s definitely one of my top features!
The upstairs space is perfect for either the main bedroom or a guest area with its big size, high ceilings, and cooling ceiling fan.
The washroom is a pretty sight with a wall-mounted basin located opposite to the clawfoot tub. These spaces give off an oasis vibe in an otherwise barren desert. Although simple and rural, they still manage to exude an air of sophistication.
