This post is not so much inspired by, but more of a plea to the owners of all the cabins frequented by families like ours during the winter month…After returning from a quick snowy get-away to Mammoth Mountain, I did some research on condos and rental units available for rent…hoping to find one cool property to include in this post. Sadly, there’s not a whole lot to show. In general the decor of these rentals is depressing at best!

It seems everyone shops at the same generic log cabin furniture store…and the offerings are not worth of the beautiful surroundings of the snowy outdoors.

I think we should put together affordable packages, and drop them in every mailbox to show owners that for a limited budget, they could drastically update their decor and in turn increase rental revenue…

I searched the web and found some stunning Mountain retreats to show as examples of how this should be done, furnished with the perfect mix of neutral color palette, warm wood tones and organic materials.  I’m especially in love with the chunky knit trend we see emerging in home decor… SO perfect for cozy cabin decor! And something you could actually ask your great aunt to knit for your next Christmas gift, maybe this time you’ll actually like it!

Here’s what we found inspiring, and how you could incorporate some of ModShop’s more organic looking pieces into your mountain home to create a warm and inviting retreat…
