Vacation. It's one of the most wonderful words in the English language. For some it means heading down to Disney World. But for you, it means taking an extra long weekend and spending time in the upstate cabin.
Similar to the Country Cottage and Secret Clubhouse, this playhouse design strives to take that central Maine camp feel and channel it into a little vacation home for the kids. You may not live in New England and you may not be within 50 miles of any kind of lake, but your children can still have that upstate cabin camp. Now breath in that fresh air. Feels good to be away from it all, doesn't it?
