Designing and building this cabin on the Oregon coast was a labor of love, and the cabin shows it. After the plans had been very carefully worked out, the owner and one carpenter spent two weeks and a few extra weekends putting up the basic structure. Once this was done, the owner and his family began to put on all the finishing touches in their spare time. The cabin is only 45 minutes from their home, and they use it on weekends as often as they can.

Low to the ground, this cabin gives you a definite feeling of "living on the beach." Here you feel closer to the sand, the ocean, and the fog than in a house that looks down on the beach. Notice on the plan that a swimmer coming from the beach can go directly to the bath without going through the cabin. Circular stair leads to ground level from the back porch. A fireplace provides the necessary heat.

Nestled in a mountain valley, with a rushing creek at its feet, this year-around vacation house is surrounded by exceptional natural beauty. Owner-Architect George Rockrise has made certain that seeing and enjoying the rugged scenery is easy-from anywhere within. Generous use of glass is evident in the photographs. And even the roof's gables, in each of the four corners, point to a view.
Working with builder Lee Van Wetter of Squaw Valley, California, architect Rockrise shaved costs to gain a pay-back in space. The results were highly successful; this is a spacious cabin. Its 1800 square feet can "swallow up" a cabinful of guests and not bulge at the seams. (The unfinished basement offers a future additional 600 square feet.) The two main floor bedrooms have their own hall and door for quiet and privacy; upstairs there are two bedrooms, placed at the east and west corners to catch views of valley, mountains, and ski slopes. Two bathrooms (one per floor) are compartmented for multiple use. A study area on the balcony forms the fireplace alcove below, and looks out over the living room to the pine trees and the stream outside.
Despite its size this is a house for fun, comfort, and easy upkeep. Both floors have perimeter heating. Electricity is used for cooking, and an oil heater provides hot water. The large deck, just off the kitchen and dining area, is a sunny activity center in summer.
