In the past, living in a cabin in the woods usually meant going off the grid and enduring rather simple accommodations. These days, however, theres a whole new vernacular that allows homeowners to be completely enveloped in nature without sacrificing comfort. This is, of course, the modern cabin. Here are just a few reasons why everyone can love living in these cozy getaways.
Enveloped by Nature
For starters, its hard to beat the tranquil setting of a remote cabin. These homes are often surrounded by trees and designed to feel totally in harmony with their surroundings. Frequently built using an abundance of wood and glass, you can expect the outdoors to be on full display and complemented with warm, rustic appeal. Perhaps one of the biggest perks is all of the privacy the wooded scenery affords.
A Place to Unplug
Most of us will readily admit to spending too much time looking at screens. A modern cabin, however, makes it easier to put the phone away and spend more time in the real world. Whether youre diving into a good book or playing board games with the family, being immersed in nature makes it easier to slow down and reconnect with the world and those around you.
Modern Amenities
Of course, its unrealistic today to be totally disconnected at all times, especially for those who work from home. The good news is that many of these cabins are designed with just the right amount of technology and modern amenities while still allowing you to live simply. From smart home devices to wellness features, a cabin in the woods doesnt exactly mean that you have to rough it.
Access to the Outdoors
Getting your daily dose of exercise and fresh air is just a matter of stepping outside. These homes often benefit from endless space for outdoor living and recreation. From nearby walking trails to fishing holes, theres no better way to beat cabin fever than taking full advantage of your immediate surroundings.
