WE'VE BEEN DREAMING OF THIS FOR THE CABIN ON DUNNS

Allie Lundeen • December 11, 2024

We have been dreaming of this day for years...

We've been dreaming of having a hot tub at our little cabin forever, and this summer it finally came true! It's the perfect addition to my happy place and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. We knew we didn't want to take away any of our deck space, so we built her a deck of her own and make it look like it always belonged right here!

We got word that the hot tub was going to be delivered in a week and that a team from Master Spas was going to be flying in the following week to shoot it! Ryan had to trench power to this spot, Build a platform, and I had to make it look beautiful and photoshoot ready like it's been here the whole time. So we hit the ground RUNNING!! Thankfully we work well under pressure!!


Ryan got the power trenched, and platform built. Then I came and stained the platform and we got the dirt leveled out in time for the hot tub to be delivered.

We love that all Master Spas are made in the USA! The delivery was so slick, they could back right up to the pad and got it just the way we wanted it!

So they we had a week to landscape! Thankfully I had bought some shrubs for the Oaks before the end of the season so I was able to use them here! As well as mulch and rocks.

I had just enough flagstone to make a cute little entrance! And we seeded and put straw on the area Ryan had to trench the wire, we weren't sure how good it would look in a week. But boy oh boy we were surprised at how well it came up!  

After the landscaping was done it was time to fill the hot tub with water. And boy did we feel the pressure to make sure that water was crystal clear and photoshoot ready! Ryan took that job very seriously! 

The photoshoot went great and we could'nt be happier with out new Master Spas hot tub! And we are so excited that you guys are able to experience the magic too by booking a stay here at The Cabin on Dunns!

I found these awesome rock speakers online! We love to have tunes on when we are relaxing in the hot tub or all hanging outside. These have worked great and just what we were looking for!

The Oaks final outdoor reveal

I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
