I'd go with a creamy white quartz countertop.

In my opinion the countertops don't have to match. I like the idea of the pebble floor. The white would tie in with trim and the white subway tile looks clean and bright.

Corian for the shower (pan & walls) and countertop. They have 5 shades of white to choose from. Easy upkeep, any "marring" can be easily repaired, lasts forever.

Or you could look at the Onxy shower walls/pans at a building supply store. They have a bunch of colors and are really pretty in the matte finish. I don't think I'll ever do a tile shower again, though I've had really good luck with them. I just like the sleekness of the solid surfaces.

While I like the idea of a solid surface, I think in a cabin people want a bit less sleek and modern. So for the rental aspect I’m liking the more rustic look. I don’t mind the upkeep.

I do like corian as an option for countertops. But isn’t it possible to burn white corian? I’m thinking guests won’t be terribly careful about setting down a hot hair grooming item in the bathroom or a pot on the kitchen countertop.

Corian can be easily "repaired" from any oops (burn, nail polish, nail polish remover, hair dye, perfume spill). Really, it will survive anything other than a whole house fire.

See if anyone in your area carries Blue Slide tile. They have some glazes that would be perfect in a cabin with pebbles. I'm thinking elegant WPA style here ...

A pebble floor would be a good start for integrating the inside and outside. I would think about carrying on with this concept. What is the cabin used for? Who would be using that bathroom? What about the location drew you in? Is it a lake? Forest? Snow? Rustic?

I don’t think a smooth and sleek countertop would go with that paneling. Keep the earth sky water theme and go with tile for the vanity top?

Definitely a rainshower head if you do a shower.

I just don't think white goes well with a knotty pine cabin. The colors in the slate tiles seem much better to me. Greens, blues, browns, creams. I would consider painting the trim brown or green. The vanity could also be painted in one of those colors. You could pick a Formica countertop that looks like slate. Pick a lighter color out if the pebble floor that you use for the shower tile.

So the cabin is on a river in the Blue Ridge mountains in North Georgia. This particular bathroom is in a loft apartment over a detached garage.

Not my furniture.

So it is an area where people from Atlanta come up to hike, bike, fly fish, go to wineries, etc.

My 2 grown kids will use it on occasion(not at the same time). We are also hoping to use it as an Airbnb. It is generally suitable for a couple as it is one big open space, kitchen, living and sleeping all in a 30’x30’ room. Separated bath.

I have a good friend who is an interior designer who suggested the white for the trim and cabinetry. At first I was adverse to the idea but I did a bit of searching for examples and decided I really liked it.

So having said that, I am also considering doing a more almond, creamy tile and countertop.

Also, I’m sure y’all are wondering why I don’t just ask my interior designer friend all of this. I love her work and love when she volunteers advice but I hate to ask her for every bit of advice as she won’t send me a bill even when I’ve insisted. I get it. I’m a professional dog trainer and help my good friends with their dogs all the time and feel odd when they try to pay me lol.

I'm with Sharyn. I dont like the white. To me it clashes with the pine. I think the white trim and white cabinets gives a beachy feel and this cabin is in the mountains.

My other option is black cabinets. I’m doing ikea, so can’t do any of their woods and I’m not a fan of grey In here.

Red or green would be fun but I don’t really want the expense of that.

I do love the idea of tile countertop in the bathroom. Probably not a great plan in the kitchen of a rental?

Is this combo too dark?

What do you think of the dark grout on the floor and white grout on the walls?

If I used the slate for the countertop and did white grout then I can use the existing white sink, which I like.

Tile is pretty darn durable. Grout won't get icky with the regular cleaning and maintenance you'd better be putting into a rental.

I have a bathroom with gray grout on the floor (and countertop) and white on the walls. Should have done it all gray. It's weird. You could still do a white sink with dark grout. It's totally okay.

I love white trim against the wood and I think your idea for white subway tile and a pebble floor in the shower is excellent. I'd consider pulling a color from the pebbles (maybe a very greyed blue or green?), paint the vanity in that color, and do a white quartz countertop (which would match the painted trim). While quartz can look sleek in certain settings, I think on top of the painted vanity and with the shower's pebble floor, it would complement the cabin feel. It's also extremely durable, which would help if you go the rental route.

I really like that combination of materials you have in the froggy picture. It looks like it goes with the environment. The different sizes of slate-looking tile make it feel casual. And the combination feels serene, which is surely what you'd want for a relaxing place. It'll be like showering at a swimming hole. Which reminds me.....having a waterfall shower head might be even more fun than a rain shower.

You could use the same slate-looking tile on the vanity?

Love the white trim. after staying in an airbnb for a month recently that stank in the bathroom (mildewy), why not a white one piece shower? I would do super easy to clean.

Thanks all, such great advice and suggestions. I’m up early as we are packing a truck to take a load of stuff up to the cabin. I can’t wait to get in and get some more pics and measurements.

Just didn’t want y’all thinking I’m not paying attention, I will check back as soon as I get settled this afternoon.

I’m with Boop - I hate having to clean grout, wipe down the walls after every use, and make sure the seam caulking remains in good repair. I love the size of our new shower, but if we were to build again I would go back to a ready made unit.

My house has a lot of woode accents, it’s not a cabin like yours but it is a pot and beam. White trim is a big thumb’s up,

For my tiled entry, the only material that really worked with the aesthetic of the house was slate, I don’t love it.

When it came time to do our master bath shower I used neutral flat pebble on the floor and large, I think 8x 24 white tiles I’m a stacked pattern. Love it.

Localeater, would love to see some pics.

Localeater, love it. Very calming and clean.

So I love the idea of a waterfall shower head but they all seem to come in super modern chrome. I was planning on black or maybe gold fixtures. Hmmm.

Your cabin has a natural feel with all the wood. To me it would be a shame to put anything but a natural stone for the counters. Use slate, granite or quartzite. Probably less expensive than quartz.

Slate is growing on me. I have to also get a surround for the corner wood burning stove built so I could continue the slate there.

I'm with others on this...the last thing I would want to do if I'm away is clean...I would do Corian, but I would consider this one...

Have you considered soapstone? I am putting that into my ski house bathrooms. It looks good with the wood and is dead simple to maintain. Engineered products with a honed finish have been problematic for some.

Soapstone did occur to me. Do you mean just bath countertop or also the shower walls?
