Getting away from it all once in a while is something that we all look forward to, but a getaway that can be delivered to wherever you are? That’s just brilliant. ESCAPE is handcrafted from Wisconsin pine and designed by the folks at Canoe Bay. It isn’t a mobile home or an RV, exactly – it’s a beautiful, relaxing cabin that can be driven to and dropped off at your chosen destination.

Clocking in at just 400 square feet, the space in the cabin is used wisely to maximize the amount of functionality in the small area. Vaulted ceilings go a long way toward making the cabin feel much larger.

The ESCAPE is environmentally friendly and energy-conscious. It’s made of sustainable materials and the interior features Energy Star appliances and LED lighting.

Fully assembled when it gets to you, all you have to do hook the Escape up to utilities and get ready for some serious relaxation. A screened-in porch with a heated bed let you relax close to nature, even when the nights get a bit chilly. A fireplace lets you warm up the place even more.

Although the ESCAPE can be moved and set up anywhere, it’s not exactly a mobile home. It has to be moved like a manufactured home and is meant to stay in one place for long periods of time. That means you just have to find your perfect vacation spot and set down the ESCAPE, then get ready for years of simple but luxurious enjoyment.

Cabins this remarkable don’t come cheap, but at a starting price of $79,000 it’s cheaper than a high-end RV. And perhaps the added value of not having to find a spot with electricity and plumbing to park your RV is worth the cost.

This memo pad from Appree remembers where it came from and reminds you every time you use it. It resembles a block of red pine, looking as though it has just been cut from a plank of wood.

The outer piece of the memo pad is a thick trapezoidal holder that houses the individual small sheets of paper. They easily slide out one at a time through a small opening in the exterior case.

The paper sheets are thick to simulate the feeling of writing on real pieces of wood. The vellum material is uncoated and a little rough to add to the illusion. The pad might even urge you to use less paper as it reminds you of its tree origin every time you use it.
