A picturesque cabin in a wilderness setting is a great way to get away from it all. The small
log cabins
pictured at right and below exude irresistible charm and ambiance!
Few cabins, however, possess the nostalgic charm and ambiance of the exquisite little architectural jewel that
follows. Designed by the talented folks at Miller Architects, a premier Montana-based architecture firm
spe- cializing in high-end, Western residential projects, this storybook cabin overlooks a mountain lake in the
Northern Rockies.
According to Candace Miller, the firm's principal, "The fishing pond at this project’s home ranch is down a
steep slope, some distance from the main compound. To providing shelter from fast-moving storms, a lunch spot,
or just a great place for a nap, the owners asked us to design a small fishing cabin. To ensure it blended in to
its environment as much as possible, we chose indigenous materials -- such as boulders displaced by mining and
local reclaimed timbers -- to help solidify the connection between the structure and the site. A
sod roof
seeded with native grasses and resident wildflowers further connects this structure to its surroundings."
Architect Candace Miller goes on to describe how the family uses and en- joys this little slice of heaven: "Now
the little cabin is the favorite place for teaching the grandkids how to fish, or for a summer afternoon swim, or
simply for reading a good book in front of the crackling fireplace."
Whether perched beside a lake in an enchanting forest or on the banks of a lush mountain stream, a cozy fish- ing
cabin makes a perfect weekend retreat or vacation getaway!
