We were just browsing high-country real estate listings today and came across this charming property that is exactly what we think of when we imagine a cozy mountain cottage.
Located on 5.7 acres in Old Snowmass, Colorado (that’s near Aspen, for you out-of-towners), the property has 850 feet of Roaring Fork River frontage and seven furnished cabins in addition to this 1,435-square-foot log home.
Listed at $8,858,000. For more information, click here: http://www.aspenskihomes.com/page.cfm?pageid=13094&propertyID=4821

It’s cold and gray here in Mountain Living’s hometown of Denver, Colorado, but photos like this (posted by one of our favorite design blogs, Habitually Chic) make us feel all warm and cozy — and like adding a few Ralph Lauren pieces to our homes’ decor. We hope you enjoy, too! Click here to view even more photos of this cozy cabin: http://bit.ly/6Csyia

Up-and-coming Truckee makes for a perfect three-day stay
Ever heard of Truckee, California? A cool, up-and-coming spot near Lake Tahoe, this town is full of authentic mountain-town charm and historic gems. Plus, just beyond town, you’ll find acres upon acres of natural playground. Whether outdoor adventure or a downtown stroll is the order of your day, we’ve worked up a three-day itinerary that’s sure to please.
Day One: Begin your day with coffee and a breakfast sandwich from Wild Cherries Coffee House (530-582-5602), a locals’ favorite (Wi-Fi is free and a cup of joe costs just a buck). Then, take your pick of more than six ski resorts within a 30 minutes’ drive. Afterwards, for an après ski evening of s’mores around the bonfire and outdoor ice-skating, make your way to the new Village at Northstar. (Be sure to wander into Baxter’s Bistro and Lounge for live jazz).
Day Two: After a fun, casual breakfast at JAX at the Tracks—an authentic 1940s diner—you can shake out your ski legs by strolling through downtown Truckee, full of charming boutiques and historic spots. Moody’s Bistro & Lounge, refashioned from a 1900s hotel, and Truckee Book & Bean—where you’ll find coffee, new and used books, and open-mic and movie nights—are well worth your visit. For an all-natural burger with sweet potato fries, local joint Burger Me! (530-587-8852) has just the dish.
Day Three: Spend your third day roving the lesser-traveled troves of Truckee. Squeeze In will fuel you up for the first part of your day, which you can spend traversing the sprawling cross-country ski areas of Royal Gorge or Tahoe Donner. (Want to escape the resort crowd completely? Rent snowshoes or skis at Tahoe Dave’s and head to Donner Memorial State Park, 530-582-7894). You’ll have worked up a hearty appetite; Pianeta Ristorante (530-587-4694) or Zano’s Italian Pizzeria will satisfy at day’s end.

Sometimes a design idea is so elegant, we’re amazed that no one has thought of it before. Here’s a classic example: the standard configuration of cooktop burners has always been a rectangle or square: two burners in front, two in the back. But with its new FIRES LINE Cooktop, a sleek single line of burners, Binova introduces a more straightforward and stylish approach.
Position this line of burners at the front of the cooking area and all operations are front and center; counter space behind the burners can be used for removing items to when finished. Or, place the horizontal cooking plane along the rear of the cooking surface and you’ll have counter space in front that’s handy for prep work. Placing the cooktop in the rear configuration also keeps hot pots far from the reach of little ones.
We love the idea of placing the FIRES LINE Cooktop right down the center of an island or peninsula, so you (and those you’ve enlisted to help) can man the stove from either side.
FIRES LINE (which measures 54 inches wide and 13 3/4 inches deep) is available in stainless steel, and can be placed anywhere there is a gas line. Each burner allows for the finest gradations of heat, helping you do everything from gently simmering milk without scorching it to boiling pasta water in record time.

We were just reading about Japanese architect and architectural historian Terunobu Fujimori and came across this photo, which stopped us in our tracks. We’ve seen sod roofs before, but never quite like this.
Grass and dandelions bloom on the roof (pictured here) and walls (which are clad with volcanic rock siding) of Fujimori’s own residence, the Tanpopo (Dandelion) House, which he designed in 1995.
You can learn more about Fujimori — and see more photos — at www.dwell.com.
