Let’s head north, friends! That means we’re packing up and going to the cabin. But what to pack for a cabin trip? Here’s one thing you probably didn’t know about me: I love lists. I have random notebooks, notepads and half-full planners all over the place filled with grocery lists, to-do lists, house chores lists, pros and cons lists and of course — the cabin weekend packing list. Each check mark I make next to the items on my cabin list means we are one step closer to that northwoods getaway!
So today, I want to share with you my go-to cabin weekend packing list. From clothes to food and drinks, entertainment and decor for ambience, you’ll find it all below!
A huge thanks to CobornsDelivers for sponsoring this post! My ideas and lists on packing up for the cabin are 100% my own.

If you buy something through one of these links, you won’t pay a penny more, but I will get a small commission to keep Girl of 10,000 Lakes afloat.

EATING AT THE CABIN
When I pack up food for the cabin, I’m actually saving time by ordering it in advance to my door from CobornsDelivers. It’s perfect for cabin weekends when I’m too busy to go grocery shopping. I simply choose my grocery items from the CobornsDelivers app or website and schedule it to arrive just before I leave for the cabin. Then it’s load up and go. That means more time at the cabin. Every item from this list (except the Legacy Chocolates) is in what I like to call my “cabin kit.” You can find out how to build your own cabin kit here. Think less time running errands and more time enjoying life at the cabin!

Man, does this have me dreaming of heading up north! I wish I had your organizational skills Jenny; I need more lists in my life because I am ALWAYS forgetting something. Such good reminders of the essentials, especially the clothing! When you living in the Midwest you never know what the weather will bring. Also, I love the new blog layout. It makes it very easy to jump from post to post.
