Brown County: The Cabin

When Julie first asked me about a fun getaway weekend, Brown County was at the top of both our lists. Unfortunately, we did not make this plan until late summer, and October (the week I already had scheduled off work) is peak season in this area of the state. I spent - no joke - an entire WEEK online every night for at least two hours a night, trying to find a cabin in the greater Brown County area. Nothing. I even tried a tri-state area. Nothing. Julie spent about 2 hours online one afternoon during her kiddo's nap, and found an available cabin. Julie ROCKS.

As did the cabin. We stayed at the Robinwood. I am not even kidding - it was the PERFECT place to stay. I have no idea how it never turned up in my searches but I'm so glad it turned up in hers.

I literally loved the cabin. It absolutely felt like home. It was fully furnished and so, so cozy. Look...even a cobblestone looking walkway!!!! (EEEE!!!)

I have decided that down comforters are one of life's greatest inventions. I want one. I priced them at the outlet mall...and the verdict is: not getting one. WOW expensive. But WOW comfortable!

The Robinwood kitchen. Isn't it cute? It's actually bigger than my kitchen at home.

They had a little journal in the cabin for people to sign after they'd stayed there. It was fun to read the stories!



This is another view of the bedroom. (Sorry, my picture posting got a little out of order.) The bedroom also had a fireplace, a comfy chaise kind of chair, and a little writing nook over in the corner. If they'd had internet access, it would have made that nook the perfect place to work on a book!!

The living room. The couch was amazingly comfortable, and it had a coffee table that ran the entire length of the couch. (And it was a super long couch.) The shelves that the TV and other things sat on were apparently custom-made for the cabin. They were so cute. There were all kinds of books and games available for a rainy day. The only bummer was no DVD player for the TV. (They did have satellite, though!) Thankfully I'd taken my laptop, so we were able to watch movies on that.

We opted to not light the fireplace. Neither of us had any clue how that worked and we thought it might be best to not burn down the cabin.
