The precise alignment of the interior pine wood joints from floor to wall to ceiling creates a continuous wrapped wood interior — which is especially noteworthy given the challenge of a sloped ceiling.  The kitchen is all black with no over counter cabinets to accentuate the uninterrupted views from the windows along the west wall.  The Rais wood stove was selected for its efficiency and adds significant heat to this area of the cabin.

Vintage Franciscan Desert Rose pattern dish ware, cast iron cook and bake ware, a four burner cooktop, full oven and dishwasher are available for your use.  There is also a small grill on the property (but we ask that you not move it to the deck).  Basic cooking supplies, such as flour, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, spices, oatmeal, baking powder and soda are in the pantry.  Use the Krups espresso maker or Mellita pour-over coffee maker to get you started in the morning — both take ground beans.  Please feel free to use anything you may find in the kitchen. 

The cabin features some Scandinavian designed chairs and several vintage Swedish hand-made area rugs made during the 1930s and 40s.  The dining table is imported from a German beer hall.  The round green tables on the deck are from France.

Artwork is kept to a minimum throughout the cabin to not distract from the interior materials and the outdoor views.  The weavings are handmade Guatemalan fabrics of traditional designs associated with San Lucas Toliman, on the shores of Lake Atitlan.  Most of the pottery in the cabin was created by Ray Kahmeyer.
