A natural choice, stone fireplaces look right at home in cabin retreats.
ABOUT THIS CABIN: Featuring a mix of dovetailed logs and timber trusses, this cabin was designed by Tim Schafer, an architect with Precision Craft Log & Timber Homes. The getaway is nestled into Idaho’s Tamarack ski area. Porches figure prominently in this home, including this one, complete with an outdoor hearth. The double-sided fireplace – which also serves the great room – provides abundant warmth on wintry Idaho nights.
Most cabin retreats just wouldn’t be complete without a fireplace, and stone fireplaces are often a homeowners’ first choice. If your new or remodeled cabin will include a stone fireplace, here are the basics behind the hearth.
Design & dècor
Stone fireplaces can look rustic or elegant, contemporary or traditional. Stones can be stacked with mortar or without. Different types of rocks offer different colors and textures. Natural stone can be carved or shaped to reflect wide-ranging styles. So, how do you sort through the options?
First, when you’re working with your designer, bring pictures and files showcasing the type of fireplace you have in mind. From there, your architect or designer can sketch ideas based on looks you like, or may recommend that you visit previous home projects or local stone yards to see more options.
