27 cabins on Powell Lake that will make you want to quit your day job
Powell Lake. It’s a place that Powell Riverites dream of during the winter. And Powtown ex-pats dream of ALL THE TIME.
It is a glorious place. And it seems as if the rest of the world has yet to discover it.
We asked our fantastic readers to submit photos of their cabins, and now, we want to share them with you. Just try not to be jealous of these people’s lives.
