Capitol Cabin! Designer Home w/ Soaring Windows

TREAT YOURSELF with this luxury cabin that will make you feel like you truly "got away" despite being in the heart of the capitol city. Nothing can quite replace that bone-deep relaxation that a cabin in the woods can deliver, and these cedar-lined walls and sky-high ceilings offer you just that. You get to step back in time when you enter the Capitol Cabin, to the 70s to be exact. The rich colors and fancy architecture will so transport you that you will ask, "Am I in a movie right now?!"
