“Hygge” [hue-gah] is the Danish word for the secret to happy living, and at our modern cabin in the heart of Cherokee National Forest, joy is no stranger. It’s hard to fret over frustrations when you’re swinging on the front porch or snuggled up in the reading nook, and easy to enjoy the company of those you love when you’re wandering among waterfalls. At Hygge Hus [hoos], we believe finding happiness should be as easy as adding another log to the fire. Add the Hygge Hus to your wishlist by clicking the ♥ in upper-right hand corner.
