No. 104 Backyards · Mountain & Cabin
Stone Fire Pit Beside Mountain Home
Outside a timber and stone mountain home at night, a flagstone patio features a burning fire pit, string lights, landscape lighting, and views of surrounding pines and a distant mountain view.
Design notes
Mountain and cabin design lets the landscape lead. Look for heavy timber and log, stacked stone and boulders, steel and dark stains that recede against the trees, and decks and terraces that reach toward the view. Fire is central — a stone fireplace, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs — and hot tubs earn their place. Planting is pines, aspens, grasses and wildflowers; paving is flagstone and gravel that can take the snow.
What to look for
- How the space is zoned — dining, lounging, lawn, planting
- Sightlines from the back door to the furthest feature
- Layers of privacy: canopy, screening, structure
