PROPERTY
This stunning lakeside cabin house is a beautiful modern home on Lake Chelan in Washington and was designed by Architecture and Interior Design firm, Hoedemaker Pfeiffer. Named The Twenty-Five Mile Creek Cabin, the house was designed to be a multi-faceted retreat shared by siblings. The brother and sister duo, along with their families, came to Hoedemaker Pfeiffer with the dream of building a lakeside cabin that captures their love for the area and history on the property, as well as a cabin their families can share for generations. The owners’ family has owned a lake front cabin on an adjacent property since the 1960s.

EXTERIOR
The cabin is approached by a long winding drive through the forest. As the cabin comes into view, at the clearing where the forest meets the lake front, the two gable-roofed structures emerge, and glass walls of the living room offer a surprise view through the cabin to the lake and mountains beyond.
The exterior of the lakeside cabin was deigned to blend into the surroundings. The cedar siding was stained to matched to the bark of the pine trees on site.

KITCHEN - DINER
Inside the lakeside cabin, the bedroom and bathrooms occupy one side of the property, while the kitchen and other living areas are at the opposite end. The home offers 2200 square feet of living space, and the spaces inside the cabin are designed purely for efficiency, so as to encourage visitors to spend more time outdoors.
The interiors are fresh, bright and easy to maintain, with vaulted ceilings and wood paneling to add dimension and texture.
The whole home, including kitchen walls and cabinets, is painted in Sherwin Williams Alabaster.

LIVING ROOM
The lake front site presented a number of opportunities. One opportunity was to really showcase the lake and the vast mountains beyond it, and the other was to find refuge from the elements in the forest and hills inland.
To achieve a balance of both, the designers designed the cabin to be comprised of two simple buildings connected by a living room enclosed by glass. The glass walls of the living room can be opened and closed to change the focus of living between the lake and the forest, become an extension of the outdoors or protect from the elements.

In the living room, the exterior materials continue through on the walls to reinforce the feeling of being outdoors.
A wood-burning, stone fireplace is the focal point of the room.

MASTER BEDROOM
Bedrooms are at the other end of the cabin, off a corridor that leads outside.
The floor in the master bedroom was painted black, grounding the space. Corner windows offer uninterrupted views of the lake.
