Mountain Cabin – Rural Idaho

Mountain Cabin - Rural Idaho

A beautiful mountain cabin located in the Caribou mountains of south east corner of Idaho. When I saw this spot, it reminded me of what someone picture as an idyllic setting for a mountain cabin. It combines the elements of a wild landscape of mountain forests, with perfectly manicured lawns, a beautiful wooden fence, a small fairy-tale cabin. The old-fashioned windmill offers a nice touch as well, and a bow to renewable energy sources.
