Tiny Cabins...Cozy Quarters!

Tiny cabins delight the senses with the gems featured here.  Dormers, multi-pane windows and open porches lend timeless appeal.  Logs, timbers, battens, shingles and stones come together in a variety of captivating looks.  Though small in size, they are loaded with charm!

Nestled among a grove of trees in the coastal mountains of Northern California, "Innermost House" stirs the soul with its enchanting form.  A picturesque composition of stone, cedar shakes and rough-sawn redwood, the design packs a lot of punch in a package that is only 12 feet square!
