The Best Little Bath House

Howdy Doody,
As promised, here is another bliggity blog post and an introduction to The Best Little Bath House located in the Bangtail Mountains, our Stone Creek Haven. The Bath House has the very amazing sauna and a soon to be shower. We have been using the sauna, crafted of untreated cedar from head to toe, since late summer and enjoying every sweat we can get. Now with a snowy blanket covering the ground, we find a roll in the snow is just what the doctored ordered to cool off once you have sweat your arse off. After your roll in the snow, a dash back in the warm sauna to heat up again, and repeat, and repeat.....now you get the idea. Dan and Hubby designed the sauna after the traditional Norwegian style in which the floor is meerly a deck floor. This and the window allow for plenty of air ventilation so your breath is never taken from you. Upon getting toasty as can be and realizing you must go, you already await your next sauna.

Please leave your boots at the door.


Steamy and dreamy.



Multiple levels for all temps.




The sauna just melts us.

Fletcher's Merry Best Christmas


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We are wishing you and
your loved ones the very best.

We had the best Christmas ever
and are feeling very content
that we stayed home....
or more importantly
that we skiied into the cabin on
Christmas Eve.

We have to ski in a mile, and all
items have to be schlepped in,
so we decieded on stocking stuffers
(aka backpack stuffers).

Gram Dulcia's Oyster Stew
sooo delicious
w/ red wine

Chocolates and Warm Fires

Oh this chocolate!
I am so addicted.
It is a local shop here
that handmakes decadent sweets.
Check out their shop.

Chillin' by the Fire

Jazz Hands
with the new Christmas
X-Country Gloves!

Lofting

We swear that there is a
time warp at
Stone Creek Haven.


Stone Creek is still flowing.
We drank from its
slushy waters this trip.

Snow Crystal Feathers
(I am in love)


There you have it, we spent two splendid nights.
When we weren't enjoying our cooking
or sipping cocktails,
we toured on our x-country skis,
chopped wood,
shoveled snow,
and kept warm.
We absolutely love it at the cabin
and wonder when we will wake
up from our dream.
It truly is a Stone Creek Haven.

We did have the
Merry Best Oyster Christmas Ever!

Season's Greetings,
Bisquit and Scooter

Ski to the Cabin

On Friday night, we packed up the gear in our packs and head for the Haven!
Bella even carries a pack, no free rides in the Fletcher House.

Tonight was the night to bring "Maria", Scott's guitar, to her
new home up Stone Creek.


It is so amazing in the cabin with our new LED lights.

Happy Husband on the plank between the master and guest lofts.


Everybody relaxes.

Tunes for the family.
Great acoustics in here, by the way!

Superb Cast Iron Stove


Slushy green snow cocktails.


Steamed Clams & Toasted Bread topped with Boursin Cheese:
all cooked on the stove :)


Livin' the dream.


BB in our wood trim:
Re-finished Rustic Barnwood Trim

New lights installed for safe night walking of
THE PLANK.

Do we really have to ski out?

Our little Stone Creek:
that flows year around,
home to many-a-trout,
heard from the cabin,
and home to the Haven!

I hope you all had a splendid weekend.
Our was fabulous.

Now to a short work week and then
packing, cooking, hunting.....
in Eastern Montana for deer
with the Fletchers.

Until then...
jelly, cookies and zucchini bread.
Pretty ambitious.

Feeling Lucky and Blessed,
