Welcome to the Quiet Cabin
A Coloring Book for Lake Lovers (and Lake Dreamers)
Let’s be honest — sometimes you don’t need another task, app, or perfectly optimized schedule.
Sometimes you just need a cup of coffee, a pencil crayon, and a place where the only sound is a loon calling in the distance.
That’s where this book comes in.
Welcome to the Quiet Cabin: A Coloring Book for Lake Lovers isn’t just something to flip through on a rainy afternoon (though it’s excellent for that too). It’s your escape plan — forty hand-drawn lake life scenes, wrapped around a short story that might just make your shoulders drop and your coffee taste better.
So What Is It, Exactly?
It’s a 100-page, full-sized (8.5” x 11”) paperback with:
• A 16-page short story called Welcome to the Quiet Cabin: Peaceful Moments from the Lake
• 40 single-sided coloring pages based on real lake life
• Clean line drawings that are actually fun to color (no geometric nightmares here)
• A glossy softcover built to survive patios, porches, and coffee splashes
And the best part? No cell service required.
The Story
We kick things off with a short story — based on true events, though I’ve changed the names to protect the guilty, the mosquito-bitten, and anyone who fell in the lake trying to tie the boat.
It follows a man (spoiler: it’s me) and his family arriving at their off-grid cabin after a long winter away. It’s awkward, chaotic, and heartwarming — the kind of weekend where the woodstove won’t light, the fridge smells weird, and someone forgot to pack socks.
You’ll meet the kids. The dog. A few unexpected visitors. And maybe — just maybe — you’ll remember what it’s like to actually relax.
The Coloring Pages
Once you’ve eased into the mood, it’s time to color. You’ll find scenes like:
• A mug of coffee on the dock, steam rising while the loons call
• Wildflower gardens full of bees doing their thing
• The bear behind the blueberry patch (just browsing)
• Kids and dogs swimming under a wide blue sky
• Fishing from the boat with your line drifting and nothing urgent ahead
• Fire pits glowing under the moon
• Pea vines crawling up the trellis beside the cabin
• Chipmunks. So many chipmunks.
Whether you’re actually lakeside or just dreaming about it from your desk, these pages slow things down in the best possible way.
Who’s It For?
This book is for real humans — the kind who:
• Miss the sound of water lapping under the dock
• Want a break from their phone that doesn’t involve guilt
• Like peaceful illustrations that don’t require an art degree
• Just want to breathe for a minute
If you’ve ever stared out the window wishing you were back at the cabin… this book’s for you.
