A Romantic Getaway Among the Best Fall Colors in PNW



When we got to our little cabin, we saw the stunning fall leaves all around us. 🍁 The trees were glowing in red, gold, and orange colors. 🌲The air was so fresh, like a mix of pine trees and wet dirt (in a good way, I promise!). It was like nature giving us a big hug, saying, "Welcome, lovebirds!" 🤗





The cabin looked so inviting, like a cozy haven in the middle of nature's beauty. 🍂 We couldn't wait to go inside, experience this unique stay and make unforgettable memories there. 💑





🏡When we went inside, it was a perfect mix of rustic charm and modern coziness. ✨ Inside, there was a twin bed and an additional cot for extra sleeping space. 🛏️ One of the most important things in the house was the space heater, which kept us warm on chilly autumn nights. 🥶❄️





👍The house had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. 📻 One special item we enjoyed was the vinyl record player. 🎶🕯️It added a romantic touch to our evenings by candlelight or rainy mornings! 🌦️Keep in mind that there is no electricity, but the house is equipped with solar-powered lights. ☀️Additionally, there is a convenient butane fire pit provided for outdoor use. 🔥



Where was the Place?

🏠 This gem can be found on Airbnb, Comment in the post and I will send you the link! It is hosted by the lovely Andrea and her husband Darreld. They are such kind and welcoming people! 🤗 Throughout our stay, they were incredibly attentive and accommodating.

Camping Under the Stars and Cooking with Love



✨ Under a blanket of stars, we began to prepare our dinner. We lit a crackling campfire in our cozy firepit and enjoyed the simple pleasures of sipping local apple cider while gazing up at the night sky. 🌌🍏





We grilled some delicious steaks, garlic breads, french fries and crispy onion fries, filling the air with mouthwatering aromas. 🍖🧅🔥 There’s nothing quite like good food and great company under the stars! 🌟❤️





Rainy Morning Breakfast!



✨ It was a rainy night, and the warmth from the space heater was so comfy! 🔥 The next morning, as sunlight peeked through the trees, we set up the butane cooker for preparing our breakfast. 🌅





Using fresh ingredients from local markets, we whipped up a delicious meal. 🥚🍳 We even brewed a great cup of coffee with our French press provided with the stay! ☕️The delightful aroma of coffee filled the air, creating a perfect start to the day! ☕❤️





The rest of the morning 🌞 we just enjoyed our time sitting on the hammock 🌿 or the deck chairs 🪑 reading books 📚 and listening to music 🎶. It was so relaxing! 😌
