One of my sweetest friends from nursing school offered to let us use her cabin for the weekend. We jumped on the thought of running away for a weekend. We didn't know what the cabin would be like, but couldn't very well screen it; "Yes, we'd like to use your cabin, but how nice of a cabin are we talking?" No, that would be rude, so one graciously accepts and hopes that one is not stuck in a freezing shack in the woods, sleeping on a futon. We were so very thrilled to discover the most beautiful log house (I can hardly classify it as a cabin) we'd ever seen.
We spent the weekend tucked away inside, putting together a 1,000 piece Christmas puzzle, drinking cup after cup of hot chocolate, sleeping in the comfiest pillow-topped bed, soaking in the claw-foot tub, cooking yummy meals in the gourmet-cabin-kitchen, building fires, falling asleep to the crackling embers, watching movies, ignoring phones & computers, simply enjoying each other. We were even lucky enough to wake up to a few inches of softly falling snow on Saturday morning, so perfect.
It was a cozy, comfy, lovely weekend in Otis, Massachusetts.

The cabin that wasn't a shack.
The puzzle we spent 8+ hours putting together.
The pretty patchwork quilt that divided the living room & kitchen, my Mom would have loved it.
The cute colored mugs that held our hot chocolate all weekend.
The tired but obsessed lovers working on the puzzle at 1:00 AM.
