One-room Cabins in the West

By Donna Poulton

Small get-away homes in the West are the perfect answer for a real vacation. One of my best friends has a small cabin, 12 x 13 square ft., and she invited 16 people to Thanksgiving dinner one year ... it is one of my best memories, but I'm not that ambitious or brave. For me the allure of a small cabin means less cleaning and upkeep and that translates to more time for me to do things .  Here's a list of things I'd rather be doing if I could spend time in any one of these one-room houses: 

1. Wade in a creek ... every day

2. Collect a big bouquet of wild flowers for the single table in my one-room house

3. Rev up my Patsy Cline CDs

4. Read Swedish detective novels

5. Photograph flowers and rainstorms

6. Lay in the grass and listen to the Aspen leaves rustle

7. Cook something new every day and invite a few friends to dinner 

8. Read a biography

9. Garden and I'd plant lots of artichokes

10. Did I mention reading a book?
