♥ Our Ouachita Mountains Trip (Part 2) ♥

Are you log cabin lovers ready for another tour?

The Wilderness Cabin, which was located in close proximity to our cabin, was loaded with lots of rustic charm and character too. Only it’s much bigger, boasting two bedrooms downstairs and a loft upstairs with a twin and full bed.  This cabin also has two bathrooms.  I could live in this one, folks.

This was a little blurry but I wanted to show you the distressed tin on the staircase.

Hope you enjoyed the tours of the cabins!  Come back tomorrow and see what all of this inspired!

Oh and for all of you that are longing for fall days to arrive, I thought I'd let you in on a sale, just in case you didn't know!  If you love the soaps from Bath & Body Works, today is the day to order!  They have them on sale 5 for $15 or 7 for $20, plus $1 shipping when you spend $25 or more for TODAY ONLY. To get the $1 shipping for an order over $25, use the code SHIP25.   I wait for these days to stock up!  They have the lovely cinnamon pumpkin and warm apple cider smells for fall! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!  :)

♥ Our Ouachita Mountains Trip (Part 1) ♥

My favorite style of house is most definitely a log one, or at least rustic. My heart leaps at the sight of one.  I always wonder what it might look like inside…….if it reflects the same character and charm on the inside as it does (for me) on the outside. And I always hope that it would!   Speaking for me, I couldn't bear the thought of a "modern decor" in a log cabin.  For me, it would be disappointing.

Well, the little cabin we stayed in most definitely didn't disappoint. It wasn’t overdone but was simple and sweet. And it was definitely rustic and charming oozing with character. I thought you might enjoy a tour, because YOU KNOW I took pictures! As a matter of fact, I'll just warn you.....this post is very picture heavy!  Feel free to scroll quickly.  :)

So here we go……..

The outside of our cabin:  The Newlywed Cabin


Come on inside!

The bed was on a platform.  It was beautiful!

Wasn't that sweet and romantic?  :) 



Just look at all of that wood!  Ahh!


See that basket on top of the armoire?  That's a picnic basket and it was provided and loaded with dishes for us to use for our outing.









Oh my goodness I loved that cabinet door! 

Loved all the little details and touches like the shutters on the windows!  So charming!


The back porch:



And the view from the back porch at sunset:


And just for fun, here are a few pictures taken from the back of the 4-wheeler on our ride. We rode 80 something miles on the 4-wheeler on Saturday. Most of it was down backroads leading to the ATV trails. I didn’t get pictures of the actual ATV trails because I had to hang on to Jason on those if I wanted to stay on the back of the 4-wheeler! Lol!


With our map strapped on.......heading out.









I so enjoy scenery like this.  These are my kind of roads!  There was so much of God's beauty to take in and enjoy!











There was a much bigger cabin across from us that the owners graciously let us tour. We hope to come back and stay in it in the fall and bring the kids. I’ll be back tomorrow with pictures so you can tour that cabin too!  Oh boy was it pretty!  You're in for a treat if you like log cabins!

If you're looking for a peaceful get-away, I highly recommend these cabins!  Email me if you'd like information on them and I'll be glad to share the info with you!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed the little log cabin tour! And thank you for joining me for Pinned it, Made it Monday yesterday too!
