Converted stable now beautiful cabin

by Eric Franklin on July 8, 2008

I’m presently much more interested in barns, sheds, and cabins than normal now that I’m looking at furnishing my new mountain property. I’m exploring all options on getting the most bang for my buck while maintaining a sense of modern style and fitting into the rustic terrain. That’s why I find this remodeled stable so enticing. While my property has no existing structures like this one, I like some of the natural finishes such as the use of stone in the interior walls, the slate porch; the rustic beams contrast nicely with some of the more modern wood interior finishes and windows.

Is that actually a slate roof as well? Crazy. Notice the uphill block wall which I presume is to protect against avalanches. I wonder what the long piece of timber is that extends right where you’d expect the gutter to be?

Beautiful downstairs interior light from the dining room with a wonderful view. It appears that most of the downstairs is sunken with the only windows being the ones in this photo. I wonder if this is the main entrance to the cabin?

This shows the rest of the downstairs as it links into the kitchen and a door to what appears to be the bathroom.

High ceilings with sizable windows in the bedroom. It appears the door on the right side of the bed is covered over by small sticks to maintain the rougher feel from the outside.

This looks to be the other wall of the bedroom with flush accordion closets.
