Blast from the past cabin style

Last weekend I got invited to Elissa's boyfriend's cabin. Since my family has a lake place I'm usually the one doing the inviting so I was pumped to be a guest for once. E had everything planned out from meals to games to boating but somehow she failed to prepare me for the seventiestasticness of the cabin itself.

Let me set the scene:




First, to get there you drive through lots of corn fields...








past some cows...
















on by a few barns...













down the dirt road in the woods...






















...and into the clearing to the stone cottage!


So quaint. So pretty. The original owner built the entire place by hand a really long time ago (I don't actually know the date but a really long time ago pretty much sums it up. Here are some of the treasures hidden inside...






An old school croquet set (although one could argue all croquet sets are kinda old school.)












A really hip and modern indoor color tv antenna.






















Quite possibly the coolest jean jacket ever.























Blinds that don't even need a caption.

















Pillows with deer on them (the Sailor Jerry's was added for extra ambiance).
























The most complete watershoe collection known to man.


















And some of the rockin'est hats ever.




Seriously guys, this cabin was amazing. I couldn't even capture it all on film. You really have to experience it to feel the full effect. It feels like you're stepping back in time (as long as people played flip-cup "back-in-time" like we did this weekend.) Not only is the cabin completely vintaged out, the small town of Paynesville nearby is also stuck back a few decades. There I got a loaf of fresh zucchini bread for $2, a Bulldogs high school PE t-shirt (even though the lady told me they weren't really for 'outta towners') and Kristin almost bought a sword. Even though it was hot and then it rained and then it was freezing and windy...the whole was still a blast. And a half. A blast and a half from the past.
