Storybook Alpine Log Cabin -Authentic Piece of Bavarian History on Lake Chatuge

Nestled in the heart of nature, on the serene shores of Lake Chatuge, lies a hidden gem that tells a story of adventure, history, and comfort - the Storybook Alpine Log Cabin. This isn’t just any ordinary cabin tucked away in the woods; it's a piece of history, a slice of adventure, and an invitation to create unforgettable memories.

The Storybook Alpine Log Cabin is no ordinary vacation rental. Its walls whisper tales from the 1940s, having originated as an authentic World War II log cabin in Finland. Imagine the hands that have touched its logs, the stories it could tell. In the 1980s, it was carefully disassembled, journeying across the world to find its new home on Lake Chatuge, where it now stands as a testament to craftsmanship and history.

Describing this cabin as unique would be an understatement. It’s like stepping into a blend of an Alpine Black Forest Clock and a Jackson Hole Log Cabin. The cabin’s exterior and interior exude a rustic charm that’s both inviting and awe-inspiring. Its two queen bedrooms and a cozy loft with two twin beds make it the perfect escape for families or a small group of friends. The two bathrooms and fully stocked kitchen are ready for your family meals, ensuring that comfort is never compromised while you’re whisked away into a world of rustic elegance.

Picture this: after a day of exploring and boating from your private covered dock, you return to the cabin as the sun begins its descent, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The evening calls for a gathering by the wood-burning fireplace, where laughter fills the air, and the warmth of the fire embraces you. As the night grows cooler, move the gathering outside to the firepit. There’s something magical about sitting under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of nature and the crackling of the fire, sharing stories and making memories.

Days at the Storybook Alpine Log Cabin begin with a moment of tranquility on the porch, sipping your morning coffee as the gentle breeze whispers through the trees. It’s a chance to disconnect, to breathe in the fresh air, and prepare for a day of adventure or relaxation, whichever calls to you. The surrounding area offers a plethora of activities, from boating and fishing to hiking and exploring, ensuring that every day is a new chapter in your storybook adventure.

The cabin doesn’t just offer a place to stay; it presents an immersive experience that blends the charm of the past with the comforts of the modern world. It’s a sanctuary where you can unwind, reconnect with nature, and make heartwarming memories with your loved ones. Whether you’re cuddling by the fireplace, sharing tales by the firepit, or enjoying a meal together in the fully stocked kitchen, every moment at the cabin becomes a cherished memory, a story to be told.

So why wait? The pages of your next adventure are ready to be filled at the Storybook Alpine Log Cabin on Lake Chatuge. It’s more than just a vacation rental; it’s your portal to a world where stories come to life, where laughter fills the air, and where the magic of nature surrounds you.

Weekend away
Quaint little cabin. Built for folks on the smaller side, perfect for anyone for a couple of days. Not handicap friendly. Host was awesome and very responsive. View and lakeside sitting was great. Would stay again.

Awesome Location / View
Unmatched view on Lake Chatuge. Quaint cabin next to a beautiful home. Deep water dock so no issues with boat rentals. Would definitely rent here again. Heck, I’d be interested in buying the place if it was ever available.

Perfect Location..but
You could not find a lovelier spot….on the water with the peace of the lake and mountain views in a quiet neighborhood of beautiful homes. The cabin could use a bit of refurbishment, though. The loft area is large and actually has the roomier of the two bathrooms, but the stairs to get there are more like a ladder, awkwardly positioned on the main floor between the entrances to the two bedrooms and in front of the bathroom door. If you get up in the night, that can be a problem unless you leave lights on in the living room to avoid bumping into it. The cabin was nicely equipped with dishes, utensils, coffee & filters, paper towels and bathroom tissue…. pretty much everything you would need except the food. It has a great boat dock that you can swim from, although we did not use it on this trip. Overall, it was OK, but I would chose a newer, less rustic place for our next visit.
