Many of us dream of escaping reality and retreating to a secluded cabin in the woods. Well, by combining its gabled roof, timber wrap-around balcony and clapboard effect, this home is that fairytale come true. Add towering green pines and snowdrifts in winter and you've got all the makings of a dreamy home with mesmerising views. From the upper deck, the treetops can be seen from every angle, while the barbecue area is ideal for making meals you can eat under the stars – there's even an acoustic guitar for campfire sing-alongs. The home might be quaint from the outside, but inside it mixes its original features with sleek furniture, elegant lighting and monochrome prints for a contemporary vibe. The grey-stone wall in the living room has a crackling fire at its centre for cosy nights in. Electric blankets add an extra layer of warmth in each bedroom. But don't let the self-care treatment stop there. For the ultimate warm-up, relax in the sauna after days spent hiking or skiing in the snow. Want to venture further afield? Drive to the spectacular Lake Tahoe in just twenty-three minutes – it's a place you won't forget in a hurry.
