Timber Bunkhouse with Stone Fire Pit

Weathered timber logs and fieldstone clad this guest house cabin, where a covered porch overlooks a circular stone fire pit ringed by wooden Adirondack chairs along a dirt path.

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

  • Roof pitch, siding and windows that echo the main house
  • The path, the light by the door and the planting around it
  • Power, insulation and drainage if you will work or sleep in it
