When I think of a quintessential PNW cabin on a rushing river in the mountains this will now and forever come to mind. North Zen is a cozy respite quite close to Seattle in actuality but really far removed in feeling. The riverfront tranquility is unmatched!
I love how the owners adapted this space to create a restful retreat for Airbnb guests. My absolute favorite feature were the glass sliding doors that separated the cozy living room from the airy bedroom with views of the river. For being a relatively small building the feeling is open and airy. Surrounded by lush greenery, the light inside tends to glow.
I photographed this lovely space in all natural lighting, creating a lifestyle feeling that draws in potential guests. When the interior photographs feel more like a magazine editorial than a real estate listing it’s a good thing! In all of my shoots, Airbnb or interior design based, I love to lean into all the details and create vignettes that strike the viewer and create an emotional response.
