Mike and Meadow Barkworth found this rustic retreat in the forest not long after the loss of their only child. The 1-bed, 1-bath cabin gave them the distance and serenity they needed to recover.







The kitchen was placed nice and close to the back porch, so that the couple can eat outdoors if they want.



The living room is uncluttered and quiet. Mike is an avid photographer and painter, and often makes use of the window near his easel to paint wildlife that passes through their backyard. Every painting and photo on the walls are his workmanship.



Meadow is more of a needlecraft and sewing enthusiast. She put together many of the small needlepoint decorations, dried flowers and plants, and quilts that can be seen around the house. In her sewing corner, Meadow keeps her small daughter's first quilt as a memorial and a token to feel as though her child is always close by.



From out the back, you can see the garden, the fishing pond and Mike's pet project - an old car that he hopes to restore.
