Explore the Rustic Charms of a Maine Cabin Getaway

Today we’re headed to my favorite state to explore the rustic charms of a Maine cabin getaway by Winkleman Architecture. Located in Portland, the cabin has everything you’d dream of enjoying in a cozy hideaway. From the outdoors in, every square inch provides warm fuzzies.

Rocking chairs made of branches and rattan invite you onto the porch to enjoy a morning cup of coffee under towering trees. A canvas swing is the perfect place for cooling off in the shade with a book on a warm summer afternoon. You can almost hear the birds sing and feel the serenity of the surrounding woods.

A rustic, towering fireplace with large stones creates a visual statement against the exposed wood walls and ceiling in the living room. A large globe light provides ample illumination and a touch of modernity at night. During the day when the natural light pours through the many windows, the pendant light becomes suspended art. You can step through the French doors into the adjoining screened porch.

The large screened porch features its own stone fireplace that keeps things warm and cozy on cool evenings. There’s plenty of room out here for the whole family to gather. Vintage rattan rocking chairs and a dining table create spaces to enjoy each other’s company. The painted green trim echoes the leafy trees just outside. The architect used large logs to serve as posts and beams. Genius!

The charming kitchen in the Maine cabin getaway enjoys its own cozy appeal. White cabinets pop against the wood paneling. A vintage stove and pot rack become a focal point behind the small kitchen island painted burnt orange. The apron sink allows for a beautiful outdoor view while the screened door is sure to create lasting summer memories with the sound of it clapping open and shut.

Wood paneling makes its way into the adjoining dining room with captain’s chairs gathered around the oval dining table. Built-in cabinetry provides extra storage space in the Maine cabin getaway. In addition to enjoying a meal, the table makes a great space for playing board games on rainy days.

Upstairs, each bedroom is charmingly cozy with exposed planked walls and painted trim work. The bed features drawers underneath for extra bedding while a white wicker chair is a great place for reading and winding down for the evening. The braided rug provides a bit of pattern and color underfoot. Wake up in the morning with a gorgeous view of the tree tops.

Another bedroom is large enough for two Jenny Lind beds beneath the wood-trimmed ceiling. Yellow quilts and bedding are paired with a plaid-style rug in red and white.

Another bedroom with a vaulted ceiling features a door with transom window leading out to a sleeping porch. I’d probably choose to sleep on the porch in order to enjoy the sounds of owls hooting in the evening and birds chirping with the rise of the morning sun.

There are plenty of porches to enjoy the natural surroundings of the cozy Maine cabin getaway. The interior spaces feature unique architecture everywhere you look. You can see the variety of ceiling treatments throughout, and the dark green trim is the perfect color complement to the natural wood.

And outside, paradise awaits! The vacation home enjoys its own private peninsula where you can jump into the lake, fish for dinner, or sail off in the canoe. Or maybe you’d opt to simply enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings while lounging in an Adirondack chair.
