Christmas at the Cabin: An area tradition
Lead Summary

-
Some folks say they haven't had their holidays without at least one visit to Christmas at the Cabin. Well, they can get started right away because Christmas at the Cabin is now open daily (except Mondays).
This quaint seasonal shop, located on Cave Road (just off of US Route 50, 4 miles west of Bainbridge) is simply stuffed from floor to rafters with beautiful hand-crafted gift items and holiday decorations. It will be open on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 1-5 p.m. through Dec. 18.
A visit to "The Cabin" is more of a delightful event than just a day of shopping. Indeed, even the men in the family enjoy the experience. They can be seen examining the structure from the unusual staircase through the high-beamed ceilings and soon inevitably ask, "Tell me about this cabin." Janny Brizius, the owner, never tires of telling the many stories about the cabin's origin and history, and folks returning to the cabin with new friends immediately ask her, "Tell my friend the cabin story. You really need to write a book about it." (Maybe one day she'll get that done.)
In the meantime, Brizius is happy letting the cabin serve as a great outlet for local folks to show off and sell their handicrafts. From jewelry to clothing, housewares, dolls and toys, oils and watercolors – they are all there and all for sale at reasonable prices. (Janny will not accept an artisan who has items priced too high.) That is not to say that there are not some pricey items … but if so, they are worth it. However, the cabin is noted for its bargains. That's another reason folks keep coming back year after year … indeed, this being the 31st annual Christmas at the Cabin!
