When the air cools and the days darken to dreary desolation, trade the dissonance of city noise for the cozy solitude of a winter cabin.  The season offers a peaceful beauty among snow covered hills and crystallized pines, an oasis for the soul.  The warm fireplaces beckon while backyards become a skier's playground.  Nestled near waterfront, or tucked in the woods, luxurious or rustic, spacious or snugly romantic, the following list provides a plethora of possibilities for frosty frolickers or those wanting to cuddle against the chill.
