I’m sitting on the covered, screened-in porch of our rustic cabin, appreciating the sound of gentle rain on birch and maple leaves with the mountains barely visible through the clouds. We got a swell but boggy hike in this morning before, as the weather app predicted, the rains started at 11:00 a.m. Good time for me to show you our current resting place.
AirBnB calls it a rustic, cozy cottage but I think the consensus will show it’s a cabin.
This has been our home since Thursday and tomorrow we head to Vermont. We are just outside the town of Randolph in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Based on these pictures it seems to me to be too un-rustic to be called a “cabin.” But I agree that a cottage, especially if it were in England, would have to be more cutesy and surrounded by a garden and in a rural village, not out in the country. And my image of a cabin is one storey. So “rustic woodland cottage” or “upscale cabin” might do.
It does seem to be a crossover type of dwelling. We met the owner, Jenn, yesterday morning. She and her husband had purchased it from a family who had owned it for three generations.
