He called this a cabin? Cilia was grateful the music masked her surprised gasp.
Her idea of a cabin was a squat little log structure in the middle of nowhere
lacking all possible conveniences. The kind of place men went when they wanted to
grow beards, drink beer and complain about women.
It was built of wood-a soft, aged wood
that glowed warm in the dappled moonlight.

If you're thinking "rustic" and "farmhouse" are the same thing - hold up. They're not. The latter has lots of white, shutters, and shiplap, while the former is big on woods, minimalism, and a more raw, undone feel. It's what we imagine our future mountain chalet will look like, but while we continue to dream about that (extremely) far off day, these rooms will inspire you to incorporate rustic decor into your current house. All the cozy feels!

The main room at the cabin's center was huge, an open gabled structure with rough-hewn beams and a charming granite fireplace. Thick, cushy furniture was arranged around it. Its freestanding chimney rose up through the high, lofted ceiling. Above, a balcony swept the width of the room, keeping with the theme of open space and wood. In contrast, the walls were a simple white, accented with glossy built-in shelves and many-paned doors and windows.
This was nothing like the arches and curves of his house in Denver. The cabin was all straight lines and simplicity. The wide planked floors were bare. A set of gleaming steps marched straight to the next level.
Beside the fireplace was an open woodbox stacked with split logs. A touch of whimsy was added by grinning brass dragons that served as andirons.
