The Cabin Weekend Packing List

A cabin weekend goes sideways when you overpack the wrong things and forget the right ones. This is the short list that has never let us down.

Bring your own warmth

Cabins are charming and frequently cold. A heavy wool throw travels well and instantly makes any borrowed couch livable.

Layers beat one big coat every time.

Do not trust the coffee situation

Assume the cabin coffee is bad and pack a pour-over kit. It weighs nothing and saves the entire morning.

An insulated mug keeps it hot on the porch while you pretend to be outdoorsy.

Keep grooming in one bag

A leather dopp kit means you throw one thing in the bag instead of hunting for a toothbrush at midnight.

Travel light, but travel put-together.
