Trip to Breitenbush Hot Springs

Last week my husband and I took a retreat in the middle of the week at Breitenbush Hot Springs. Breitenbush is a rustic hotsprings resort near Detroit, Oregon. We splurged and spent the night in a quaint cabin with indoor plumbing--yay! :-) Here is our little cabin: B1 or "Beautiful One" as the woman who checked us in said:




Here are a couple more shots of the nearby cabins. Maybe they'll provide inspiration for your next miniature project: a rustic cabin! ;-)


I love this picture of the cabin nestled in the woods:


We had such a good time. The food was delicious! The people were so friendly! The hotsprings were wonderful! My favorites were the ones located at the edge of a meadow, including one with a view of the nearby river. We got some cute pictures of the two of us in the hotsprings, but some things are best kept private. ;-) Instead, here's a link to official photos of the hotsprings on Breitenbush Hot Springs' web site. Aren't they beautiful?

Another highlight of our visit was a hike through old growth forest. We did a 4.7-mile loop, with some of it going straight up, but it was worth any suffering involved, as the views were magnificent and the sense of peace was palpable.




Thanks for taking this little journey with me! Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer

    Sounds like a wonderful relaxing time. I like the cabins. They can be easily copied in miniature. I have once made an out house of this type. Will show it in my post some time.

    Hi Drora! Oh, I would like to see the mini outhouse you made--that would be really interesting! I like the idea of building a miniature rustic cabin for my bear family--fun! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment!

    What a beautiful peaceful spot, the little cabins are so lovely, like small fairytale homes ( did you meet any fairies?? I would not be surprised )
    Nice to hear that you had such a wonderful time.

    Hi Caroline! You're right, that IS interesting. Another interesting bit is that this moring I thought I might turn my particle board child's dollhouse into a "cupcake cottage," and now you've got the cupcake on the wall of your cabin! We must be on the same wavelength today! :-)
