Rustic but comfortable, simple yet elegant - that's lodge living!
A magnificent bull moose took up residence on the lakeshore opposite our house. Here's a short video we captured of him.
Your rustic getaway may be in the woods, on the lake, in the mountains... or maybe it's still a dream.
It may be your home away from home or your permanent abode... or perhaps you just want to create that feel in your home in the city.
This is where you'll find ideas, suggestions and many of the bits and pieces you need to help you create your unique lodge decor.

In addition, you'll find lots of ideas for cabin or lodge living because the lodge lifestyle is more than just decor its a way of life! And with all the interest these days in so called "cabin porn", this is the perfect place to expand that fantasy and maybe turn it into a bit of reality!
So, here's the thing... time spent searching for the perfect decor and accessories to make your cabin or lodge the place of your dreams means less time spent doing the things you really want to do reading by a cozy fire, lazing in the hammock, paddling on the lake, hiking, or just listening to the birds sing.
The Rustic Lodge Lifestyle makes it easy for you... with information, ideas, and links to fantastic rustic products, and a whole lot more.
Watching sunsets from the deck, coffee on the front porch in the solitude of a cool morning, canoeing on still waters, family feasts, doing your favorite crafts, spending time with your children or grandchildren... this is what the lodge lifestyle is really all about!
