The guest cabin dream started percolating soon after we arrived to Crag Lake from Cali, Columbia. We wanted to extend the peace we found here to others who might need a sanctuary. Originally, we pictured something much smaller but Suzanne needed a Maritime styled dormer as a cozy reading corner. Rob built the cabin over three seasons, from local materials.
"Toilette al fresco" is ingeniously created with a medieval theme. Situated near the upper garden, the outdoor experience allows for potential views of northern lights (in winter) and many bird sounds.
The kitchen is equipped with a propane stove, electric fridge, floral themed light fixtures, Guatemalan tiles (hand carried from Antigua), a double sized futon, antiques and cabinets built by Rob. Purified drinking water is provided in an electric cooler and water for cooking and washing is delivered from the lake in a barrel.
The loft has an outside access as well as a ladder from the main floor. The cathedral style windows acts as a clever headboard that allows a rare view into a squirrel’s nest in the treetops. Suzanne creates handmade quilts during the long dark winters using reclaimed items such as clothing labels, doilies and soon, neckties.
The Dunroamin’ library is well equipped with adventure and wellness books next to the romantic wood stove. The travel theme permeates throughout the cabin
We gurantee great adventure storytelling, laughing loons, serene wilderness and the occasional swimming caribou. As a true retreat,
we present no distractions such as television, telephones or high tech gadgetry.
