Feast your eyes on 23 of the world's most amazing cabins.

At some point we’ve all wished the life had a pause button.

That time could stand still for a week or two and we could relax and take some time away from the world.

There’s no better place to do that than a cabin. They’re cozy, they’re remote and they’re just so darn adorable.

You can ‘be at one with nature’ or simply enjoy time away from people, in a hot bath with a glorious view.

23. Let’s ease in with your run-of-the-mill log cabin.

People refer to it as the Dr Suess House and as you can imagine, there are all kinds of legendary stories surrounding its creation. The actual name is Goose Creek Tower; it sits on 500 acres along the Susitna River and at 18 stories and 185 feet, it's one of the tallest wooden structures in the world. The framework is all 6x12" and 12x12" center cut Douglas Fir timbers, with about 60,000 pounds of steel reinforcement. Although it looks like it might topple over, it already survived an earthquake and it continues to stand solid. Many of the stories were actually built on the ground and lifted into place with a crane. The views are incredible, to say the least, and many stories have full wrap around decks and huge picture windows to take in the Talkeetna Mountains, the Alaska Range, Denali, the Susitna River, and even as far as the Homer Spit on a clear day. The bottom level is a 40x40' Swedish scribe style log cabin made from Alaskan Nenana logs and there's a central elevator chamber that connects lower level living spaces with upper level observatories. Upper levels feature cozy nooks that will be filled with wool rugs, bear skins, oversize pillows, and are designed to be spaces for lounging, contemplation, reading, and having good conversations. Among other things, the owner is a poet and he says he built Goose Creek Tower as a poem to the sky. Naturally many people want to see this place for themselves but the owner asks that you please do not trespass on his property. In addition to just respecting his privacy, this is a working construction site and it's dangerous. Once completed, he says he will host tours for the public. If you're in the area and feel like you just have to see it now, he may be available to show it to you. You can DM me and I'll put you in contact with him.
