Christmas Home of the Week – Forgotten Road
This Grand View log cabin is the perfect spot for a Christmas getaway. It is tucked away along a creek, with no direct road access – thus the name “Forgotten Road.”
Landmark to Forgotten Road
You will be greeted by gently falling snow, with a light dusting already covering the ground. The first thing you will probably notice is the cheerful Christmas lights that adorn the deck and exterior of the cabin. But as you look around, you will see that there is more to take in. For example, instead of putting the Christmas tree inside, it is on the deck. The tree is located right in front of the large picture windows, so it is still easily visible from the living room. And if you look to your right, you will find two winter fairies engaged in a snowball fight.
The interior also shouts “Christmas”. Stockings are hung on the fireplace mantle, just waiting for Santa to fill them with goodies. They are guarded by a red and white BBB Neighborhood Watch Bear, who sits on the mantle to keep a watchful eye over them. And the word “JOY” floats over the fireplace, reminding us to have fun this holiday season.
There are other Christmas decorations in the living room as well – such as a lighted Christmas star on the wall, an indoor plant decked with Christmas lights, a lovely poinsettia next to some candles. And there is a little table with gingerbread houses sitting just under a picture of Father Christmas.
Finally, the kitchen is loaded with all sorts of Christmas yummies. There is a tray of goodies on the counter … cream puffs, cookies, doughnuts, hot chocolate. There is a little table with a pie on it, and another pie on the kitchen table – a cozy two-seater for you and a friend.
This place has an overall cheerful-and-Chrismas feel, and I recommend that you come by visit it.
