Rolling Huts – Architecturally Significant Camping

A weekend at The Rolling Huts in Mazama, WA is a sublime experience in contrasts. Thank you Mother Nature and Olsen Sunberg Kundig Allen architects... The structures themselves are amazing; the setting is breathtaking; and it's easy to forget you're in a "rustic" cabin given the aesthetic accomplishment.

I'm not sure "microwave oven" and "rustic" can be used in the same sentence, but there is a lack of indoor plumbing. There is a small refrigerator, electricity and a state-of-the-art wood stove, but a porta-potty, too. There is also a "firewood fairy," as the kindling and logs just seem to appear out of nowhere.

Down the road a bit... 20 miles or so... is Twisp, a town that's fun to say and visit. I'm not sure how I missed seeing these sculptures on my last visit - I can only guess they weren't there - perhaps Twisp has a sculpture fairy who rolls in the oversized, iron orbs under cover of darkness?

And, naturally, there's a signature coffee roaster within easy reach - Blue Star Coffee!
