One
thing the cabin shares with the main house is a fishing decorating
motif. The Allens' passion for the sport is evidenced in the inlaid
designs of a living room end table, on the upholstery on dining room
chairs, and in fly fishing prints and fish statuary throughout. The
cabin is fitted with a variety of textures and colors, especially
on lodgepole pine pieces by Old Hickory Furniture Company that the
Allens had outfitted with interesting upholstery designs.
Jerry and Jorja also commissioned Chad Koske, a Wyoming artisan who
doubles as the ranch manager, to build a number of beds, end tables
and even an entertainment center of dead-standing lodgepole and ponderosa
pine. Log Knowledge framed all of the windows and doors in the guest
house with standard buck material, then trimmed them with knotty pine
on the interior and cedar on the exterior. Covered redwood decks wrap
around the cabin to give it a distinctive "hip' look.
Outside,
guests may don a set of waders to test their luck with the rod and
reel, try their hand at roping in the arena, or just enjoy the view
of the mountains. No matter the activity a comfortable, restful
retreat awaits at the end of the day. It is the guest cabin, planned
and created with care, that lets visitors to Fish On Ranch know
they are valued. --
