Our Cute Little Cabin

 I wanted to give you a tour of the cute little cabin where we stayed for the past couple of days! In case you missed yesterday's post, Ryan and I just returned from a couple of days away at Pokagon State Park in the far northeast corner of Indiana. They have a beautiful lodge; check out how pretty it is in the snow!! (I was standing down near the beach for this photo, so sorry it isn't closer!)

They do have pet friendly rooms in this lodge, but as I shared yesterday, they were all booked by the time we knew we were going to have Lexi living with us at the time of this retreat. So....they put us in a cabin! The cabins are a short walk from the lodge and I'm guessing they're fairly new. One note I will put in here about the cabins is that we were under the assumption that they were all little freestanding cabins. We knew from online pictures that they were basically a hotel room. But we didn't know each cabin held four rooms. The cabins were basically divided into quarters, and each quarter was a room. That doesn't necessarily matter, except we had Lexi with us, so we were extra sensitive to every noise she made, because we knew we had neighbors. We didn't feel as free as we might have with a little more privacy. 

Here is a picture Ryan took of Lexi with me outside our cabin:

Just to the left of the left side of the picture was another porch that went inside another quarter of the building. And the window behind me at the far end was for yet another room. We were just the little corner you see here. And we didn't use the picnic table. Ha!

Our room had two full-size beds with one bedside table in between. Check out that landline phone on there too. We actually used it. I took a picture to document since that never happens anymore. :) The canvas art pieces above each bed are pictures of the park, which I enjoyed looking at!

This was our little kitchen and closet setup. The tall closet on the end reminded me of storage in our RV, so I felt right at home. The lower door had a rod for hanging clothes and a couple of shelves for shoes. The top cabinet had more shelf storage. We had a microwave, mini fridge, and coffee pot, though you can know we brought our own mega coffee pot with us. :) Those two huge drawers to the left of the fridge were a dresser, essentially, and the long cabinet door held a folded ironing board. 

Our TV had a decent number of channels to choose from! 

This little cove just inside our door led to an adjoining door to the next room. This cove was PERFECT for Lexi's crate, but I didn't love the giant gap under the door (and the door behind it had the same thing). We stuffed a towel there to try to help with noise. 

I'm so sad that I missed getting a picture of the floor to ceiling shelves just to the left of this photo. They were in between this cove and the bathroom and they were PERFECT for holding all our extra bags!

The bathroom was super clean and nice! My only two complaints were lack of counter space and no lid on the toilet. I ran out of room to put all my stuff!

Clean shower!

Probably the biggest negative of the cabins was that the WiFi didn't come out there. We have a hot spot for emergencies, so I was still able to blog and tend to any necessary internet business, but if we didn't have that, I would have had to hike to the lodge with my computer to take care of all that. 

But other than that, we really enjoyed our stay in the cabins and would absolutely go back!
