Cabin Bascom - a Hillman/Markley creation
Walk through the "Mahogany Doors" into your own world of natural beauty designed by Ross Markley, internationally renowned sculptor and gardenscape designer in collaboration with visionary art enthusiast, Kathy Hillman. As a prelude to the much anticipated opening of the Bascom Arts Center, we invite you to experience this inspiring and rejuvenating retreat located at the head of the Greenway Trail and steps away from the Bascom.
This thoughtfully renovated 2 bedroom/2 bath cabin features a designer kitchen fitted with granite, walnut, stainless steel and every attention to detail. The open floor plan to the great room encourages great times with family, friends or that special someone.
A well appointed master suite is centered around an impressive double sided, tumbled marble fireplace... perfect for a cozy read in the five foot bay window, a relaxing jacuzzi bath, or a restful sleep on the queen sized bed donned with Egyptian cotton sheets... we say the most romantic suite in Highlands, despite the flat screen! The guest room wears red well with double bed, TV/DVD and is paired with its own bath containing a slate walk-in shower and art vanity.
Hillman spared no expense with Caribbean imported heart of pine floors and pickled spruce shiplap walls throughout, stacked stone fireplace and 37 inch flat panel TV in the living area. The vibe is light, open and airy yet the cabin is filled with eclectic furnishings and purposeful art.
While surrounded by all that the interior offers, you are beckoned outside to a peaceful playground. Sip your morning beverage at the cafe table on the deck while watching the birds and ever unfolding garden. Sit on the reflecting bench and listen to the soothing waters of the eternal fountain. Enjoy a Highlands afternoon or evening on the lower deck around the granite firepit.
If you can tear yourself from Cabin Bascom, you are conveniently located to all the world class amenities that the Highland area has to offer.
