I’m still trying to find time to organize my photos from my sojourn in Whistler this past weekend but in the interim I hope you find this somewhat interesting.

Whistler abounds in very expensive log cabins which nestle among the trees or have sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Since I rent a Canadian log cabin in Second Life from fellow Blogpower member, Tom Paine, I thought you might be interested to see the contrast. First of all may I present a photo of my virtual log cabin, which I understand Tom actually bought from a Canadian builder in Second Life. There are three situated side by side at the waterfront location, with mine being the centre one. I have a spectacular view of the Linden ocean and a nearby lighthouse, with a dock below at which are moored one of Tom’s luxury yachts which he rents out and several other interesting craft including a yellow submarine.

Yes, that is me on my front deck. I’ll show you the inside
another time

However let’s get down to the real thing, well the luxury real thing. These particular examples are taken from the houses which surround the very upscale Nicklaus North Golf Course where the rates to play are currently $189 per round. However if you buy one of houses in the development you have free membership in the golf course, which has a very beautiful setting and was designed of course by Jack Nicklaus. Currently there are two homes for sale there which are priced at $2,800,000 and $2,999,000. However the ones below are not on offer.

This gorgeous log cabin faces one of the beautiful greens on the golf course, to the right of where I was standing when I took this photo. This is just one angle of the cabin which is very large.

Its next door neighbour fronts the same hole on the course. This one is much smaller and is similar in shape to my own rented “virtual” log cabin, with the large windows in the upper floor.

This one is across the road from the other two but strictly speaking is a combination of a log cabin on the lower floor with a more traditional cedar siding construction for the upper floor, although it does have the big logs for the central beams above.

If you would like to have a Canadian log cabin in your real life you might like to look here. They are shipped worldwide. If you would like to have a virtual one in Second Life and be my neighbour there is currently one available but for how long I cannot say.
