Cabin on a Lake | Washington State Hiking Pursuing Balance Thru Adventure

LAKE CHELAN NATIONAL RECREATION AREA

STEHEKIN, WASHINGTON

Activity: Sight Seeing

Date: June 24, 2020

This isn’t just any cabin and this isn’t just any lake. So the title “Cabin on a Lake“ is pretty simple, but perhaps poetic just like this enchanting little cabin at Lake Chelan on the edge of Wilderness.

This charming little cabin with it’s exquisite gardens is a life time labor of love. As we rode by, on the bikes we rented, we just had to stop and complement the owner, a retiree who was up on a high ladder putting wood shingles on his Hansel and Gretel cabin in the woods. I have to say he is a master at what he has created not only for himself and his lovely wife, but for every passerby to ogle over. There are plenty of beautiful cabins in the Town of Stehekin, but this quaint cabin is really special. The detail and love he has put into this home in this peaceful and tranquil setting is something movies are made of. The garden is magical, and of course the view of the lake is one of a kind.

We almost feel guilty taking him away from his work, and I was thinking that during the Summer this place has to be almost a tourist attraction and maybe he doesn’t want to be bothered. But he was eager to talk, as was his bride of many years. He loved to speak about the passion of his project, the town, and the area. In fact, we finally had to cut it off and bid them farewell, as we had a Ferry to catch back to the real world. So we said bon voyage to this bewitching ”Cabin on the Lake” and this captivating fairy tale.

What a lovely Gingerbread House on the edge of wilderness on a lake of dreams.

“This cabin in the woods sets a romantic scene. A vision of contentment a heavenly dream. To be near to nature, the sights and the sounds. Feelings of peacefulness and serenity surrounds. I hear the hoot of an owl, the cry of a fox at night. Birds singing their chorus, in mornings first light.” – Deborah Evans
