Welcome to the Happy Cabin blog, where we share stories about life in North Lake Tahoe, our cabin, and other things that make us happy. The blog evokes what Happy Cabin means to us—family, friendship, travel, adventure, food, design, books, photography, experience, people and memories. If you’re not sure where to start, try the beginning. We welcome your comments and suggestions. If you have ideas for the blog or want more information about how you can visit Happy Cabin yourself, get in touch.

Grandpa toiled for weeks in the hot summer sun over built-in redwood bunks, crafted by hand from pieces of redwood he'd been saving for a special project. Not only are they functional and fun, the smell of linseed oil and old wood takes me back to another happy place we discovered on a trip to Turkey we took when Anaya was only 4-years-old.
