I want a cabin like this as my private retreat!

We have been DVC members since 2004. Lucky for us, we've stayed at almost every DVC property. We've stayed at Wilderness Lodge twice, once when Boulder Ridge was simply known as the DVC Villas at Wilderness Lodge and then a second time in a Copper Creek studio. Having already stayed here twice, and visited many more times while staying at other DVC properties, we knew how outstanding this resort is. Once while staying at Saratoga Springs, we visited an Open House at the Cascade Cabins. That's when we knew that some day we needed to book a stay in a cabin. For this visit, we stayed 3 nights as a family of 6. We had just the right amount of space. My aunt and uncle stayed in the master bedroom which features an amazing en suite bathroom with a water closet, spa shower with rainshower and a huge tub. Their double vanity mirror featured a television! From this bedroom you can access the wraparound porch and sit near the double-sided fireplace. My husband and I stayed in the second bedroom which had a pull down bed under the TV which allowed for a third guest. Our bedroom had a window seat with drawers underneath, built in drawers in the closet and space under the bed for your suitcases. Our son and our cousin slept in living room. There was a pull out couch and a pull out chair, both of which were very comfortable. This layout doesn't allow for the pull down Murphy-style beds that Disney has been incorporating into their properties. Due to the placement of the fireplace and the sliding glass doors out to the patio there isn't a solid wall on which to place this type of bed. The kitchen was easy to work in and the island allowed for extra prep space. The dining table was huge. It seated eight. The common area bathroom was split which allowed for multiple people to do their business at the same time. One room featured the toilet and a sink. The other room had the shower and a sink. The bonus here is that this shower also had a rainshower head. Being in these foresty surroundings and standing under that shower you can easily imagine yourself on a retreat in the middle of the forest. As with all one bedroom accommodations and higher there was a washer and dryer unit. This is always great for going home with clean clothes! For this trip, we opted to BBQ every night and just hang out in the cabin. We wanted to soak in all of the beauty and craftsmanship of the place. We loved sitting in the hot tub and listening to the Disney music. This was a great experience. I would recommend a stay at the Cascade Cabins at least once (or more if your budget allows for it).
Note, we chose the cabins along Boulder Ridge as we wanted to be close to the pool and the drink refill station near Geyser Point. The cabins on the other side of the main hotel seem to be a bit farther from the main pool area, but it appears to be much quieter on that side. I also think you may be able to see the fireworks from those Cabins. We didn't see them from our side. Just something to think about if you're booking a cabin.
